A diverse and appropriate nationality ratio is very important to the ‘English-speaking environment’. CIP ENGLISH will continue to pay much attention to the appropriate nationality ratio.
Almost every person’s educational experience includes a trip to the cafeteria. The quality of the cafeteria frequently contributes to the quality of life of each student, whether they care about the social aspect, the food, the atmosphere, or the amount of time they get to spend in the said cafeteria. This is the place where students should be able to relax and have fun in order to recharge their energy and continue working hard throughout the day, which is why every aspect of it must be up to par.
The school cafeteria where CIP English Academy students spend their time is a fantastic cafeteria, with the perfect amount of time allotted and a relaxing atmosphere, and good quality food. To satisfy the growing number of students, CIP offers buffet-style meals which provide students with a variety of choices. Supporting student development and learning through good food and quality service.
The interior of your room is made up of things bought from IKEA!
CIP ENGLISH is remodeling all rooms. All incoming students will be provided with a new room environment. Most of the facilities in the room are made of IKEA products. For the school, ‘durability’ that can be used for a long time is important, but for you (students), a design that is convenient to use will be given priority. I am sure that IKEA products will satisfy you with ‘design and convenience’.
Studying abroad requires a balance between study and life. If you have a good lifestyle, your studies will be more effective!
CIP ENGLISH’s remodeling is ultimately for your success in your studies!
For your classes, native speakers and Filipino teachers are already residing on campus. Also, we are working on to providing you more comfortable language learning and safe environment with the developments we have made and continuously been doing with the dormitories, classrooms, and other facilities.
