or guardians are present to pick up students in the evening.
CAP students spend the morning in multi-level, multi-cultural English
classes with qualified ESL teachers. In the afternoons and
evenings, we organize a wide range of fun activities and excursions
on and off campus. And on weekends, they have day trips.
