Welcome to the ESL Program at Aquinas International Academy (AIA)

Welcome! I’m Gaia Gerard, the ESL Coordinator at AIA. Our online English as a Second Language programme supports multilingual learners from Middle School through Year 9, helping them build confidence, strengthen academic language skills, and take an active role in our international virtual learning community. We aim to create a warm, structured, and engaging online environment where students feel comfortable taking risks, expressing themselves, and growing as independent learners. 

At AIA, we value the diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds that our students bring. Our programme builds on these strengths while providing the targeted support they need to succeed across their online studies.
