Pathways Program
DL Better Education's International Education Pathway Program is designed by the best teachers with years of experience in teaching English in New South Wales. The focus of the course program is to help students gain a deep, rich and complete understanding of the English language. Through the program, children will begin to build solid language skills and critical thinking skills, which are critical capabilities for success in all subjects at school.
International Pathways is a residential English Language Intensive Course of Study (ELICOS) program for international students for up to 12 months of study. It provides exceptionally high quality teaching and cultural training.
It is a boutique, English language and cultural familiarisation program owned and operated by Presbyterian Ladies' College (PLC) Armidale, within two school campuses in two different locations: PLC Armidale for girls and Scots All Saints College, Bathurst, for boys. It is for Middle School aged international students, providing pathways to further Australian education at high school and university.
