CPILS

CPILS is the first English-language training institution established in Cebu, the Philippines' premier resort destination. It offers all students from non-English-speaking countries who want to study English, including Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, Russia, and Belgium, broad opportunities to improve their English, quality educational programs, and a living environment with optimal all-in-one facilities. Boasting the largest scale in the Philippines, CPILS has around 260 classrooms and around 180 dormitory rooms, as well as a dining hall, audiovisual room, library, fitness club, swimming pool, snack shop, and cafeteria, all in a single building, so that students can live comfortably there and feel the atmosphere of a school rather than a mere academy through various activities. It also takes pride in an outstanding faculty and excellent management system befitting its size. Innovative Quality Education CPILS is the first school to offer a teaching method that blends the educational benefits of in-depth one-on-one lessons with interactive group classes. Other schools in the Philippines offer only one-on-one lessons or only group classes, but CPILS students experience the best of both, and can make up for the Philippines' weak point, pronunciation, with the only certified (all TESOL-certified) Native Speakers (Americans and Canadians). Systematic English Courses CPILS follows an integrated language program that systematically links all of its English programs. These programs let students experience a variety of conversational environments. The curriculum is a highly in-depth English course of 6 levels (beginner, elementary, lower intermediate, intermediate, upper intermediate, and advanced). The course offers 3 types of programs: 1:1, 1:4 (Group A), and 1:8 (Group B). Unlike other schools, CPILS lets students choose the program type. CPILS students can take all 3 types of programs at no additional cost. Our students are placed accurately by level according to their English ability and benefit from 27 hours of attentive instruction each week. Moreover, those 27 hours do not include supervision, guidance events, or self-study. Regular exams are a management system in which teachers test students and decide whether they can advance to a higher level. Basic materials and handouts prepared by teachers are all provided to students free of charge. Textbooks and the handouts needed for class are provided along with many references and teaching materials, and the extensive collection of books is freely available to students. Ideal Class Size CPILS strictly keeps the ratio of students per Native Speaker (American or Canadian) teacher at a maximum of 1:8. Dynamic Teachers International Teachers - We are very proud of our international family. They are teachers from the United States, Canada, New Zealand, or bilingual Filipino teachers from the Philippines. All teachers at CPILS have built careers in their respective ESL fields based on excellent qualifications, diverse teaching experience, and experience in many countries.
