The Program
Six months of structured English, designed for the Cuban reality.
🗓 Program launching August 2026 · Enrollment openProgram Overview
"I designed this curriculum thinking about the girl I was when I lived in Cuba. English is not just a language — it is sovereignty. It is the right to access knowledge without anyone filtering it, to think freely, and to connect with a world that for too long has been denied to Cuban children."
— Founder, Future Voices Cuba
Pedagogical Approach
We follow the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach: every session moves from comprehension to practice and ends with real student output. The input → practice → output cycle ensures that children not only learn English but use it from day one.
Groups are capped at 5 students for a pedagogical reason: more students means less speaking time per child. In a small group, every student speaks in every session.
Group A (ages 9–11) and Group B (ages 12–15) follow the same curriculum but with vocabulary, examples, and dynamics adapted to each developmental stage.
How Each Session Works
Every 45-minute class follows the same structure inside Telegram, optimized for low-bandwidth connections.
