Anatolia’s Bridge & Bilingual Programs offer afternoon (after school) English classes for all children, ages 4-12.
 Bilingual Program (since 1981)
This unique program follows a special curriculum to meet the needs of children who have been exposed to English outside the classroom:
- who have lived abroad
- who have at least one English-speaking parent
- who have been exposed to English from a young age
This ESL program nurtures full or emerging bilinguals to speak, read, and write English fluently and correctly. 
Bridge Program (since 2004)
English classes open to all children (ages 4-12).
Children enjoy a unique learning experience focusing not only on academic but also on social and creative skills.
The program boasts:
- a specially-designed curriculum
- an interactive classroom experience
Both programs are taught:
- by dedicated bilingual teachers with local and international experience in small classes to ensure individual attention
in an English-speaking environment
- by innovative methods to encourage children’s creativity through interactive learning at the familiar Anatolia Elementary School site.
