Get to know Optimise Academy
The go-to exam prep course for teenagers just got even better!
“Optimise Academy” the new edition of the best-selling “Optimise” series, combining the hugely popular methodology of the original “Optimise” series with fresh, teen-friendly content.
Through its four levels, it takes students from A2 to B2, focusing on building essential exam skills and providing plenty of practice to ensure they’re fully prepared for success when it matters most.
Designed to engage teenagers
“Optimise Academy” captivates teenage learners with fresh video content, gamified digital activities, and teen-relevant reading texts. Each lesson guarantees student engagement, with a strong focus on getting students speaking with new communication activities.
Seamless continuity across levels
“Optimise Academy” is cleverly aligned with the seven-level primary course “Bright Academy Stars”, giving teachers and students a sense of continuity as they progress with both English and external exam preparation.
Prioritising well-being for success
“Optimise your well-being” activities support student well-being and equip both students and teachers with the strategies they need to stay calm and perform to their best ability in end of year and external examinations.
Streamlined for efficiency
A reduction in the number of core units ensures that teachers can deliver all the learning outcomes they need for the exam, even with limited teaching hours. It also allows students to finish the complete book by the academic year.
Guide your students to exam success from day one
Together with “Bright Academy Stars”, “Optimise Academy” forms an 11-level exam-focused programme that takes students on a learning journey from young learners to teens, providing a smooth, engaging classroom experience for both teachers and students.
