English only policy is strictly enforced
Students are not allowed to speak their mother tongue in the school. It is called "English Only Policy (EOP)". It is strictly monitored so students will talk in English with the students from the same country which really helps improve your English speaking skills.
Local schools are in the same location
Our school “Free Bird Institute” is built next to local schools, “Namaka Public School” and “Namaka Public School Kindergarten” in the same school compound. Students of Free Bird Institute are able to enjoy talking with local children on a break time and after school.
Using interesting and practical textbooks
Free Bird Institute uses the textbooks called “Face to Face” developed by University of Cambridge in UK.
These textbooks have been introduced in our school since September, 2009.
The reason of the selection of the textbooks is Fijian English is more like British English as Fiji used to be a British colony and the textbooks were developed in UK as well. These new textbooks are well-known and introduced in many countries. It will help you improve your English skills.
