When a school says its students "graduate with English," the right question is: at what level? The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is the scale universities and employers use worldwide.
The six levels, in plain words
- A1 · Beginner: basic phrases and introductions.
- A2 · Elementary: simple everyday conversations.
- B1 · Intermediate: manages while traveling and talks about experiences.
- B2 · Upper intermediate: speaks fluently and understands complex texts.
- C1 · Advanced: expresses ideas precisely in academic and work settings.
- C2 · Mastery: near-native command.
Why reaching B2 or C1 matters
B2 is the level many universities require to study in English and many companies ask for in roles with international contact. C1 opens the door to graduate programs and to working in English without limits.
Where our program aims
AMCO Speed Up, the program we use in Middle and High School, is designed to take students toward levels B2–C1. And so it isn't just a promise, we certify the level reached at the end of 9th grade and again in the last semester of High School.
