ACADEMIC
Courses
Our English Department offers a range of levels and exams which focus on the key skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing. Students as young as 7 years old can join us on our adventurous journey of English learning. Starting from our Pre-Junior classes through the use of the phonetic alphabet, songs, games and interactive activities, students are inspired into loving English in a fun way. As the students move up levels, the emphasis on grammar and writing is increased. We work towards building our students’ confidence, skills and fluency and preparing them for the final milestone – their IGCSE examination.

Technology
One of the most exciting innovations in modern teaching has been the increasing use of computer technology across all areas of the curriculum. This has, in many ways, revolutionised teaching methods. Xenion Institute has embraced new technology because we know that if we seek to create 21st century citizens, we must have a 21st century school.
Every classroom at Xenion Institute has an Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) and projector, enabling the use of an extensive library of e-books, interactive learning materials, educational games and puzzles as well as on-line resources.
Technology is also an essential part of our communication process.
Online lessons in our school are conducted via Microsoft Teams.
All students participate in training sessions before lessons start so they know in advance how the platform works and what they need to do. Our students never miss their lessons and they always follow what happens in class even if they cannot come to school. We also offer online lessons for various courses to students abroad.
Our school is proud to announce that we won an important award at the “Cyprus Education Leaders Awards”.
The school was awarded in the category “Technology in Education” for the Information Management System XENION MIS.
