- Increasing the general cultural level of students.
In addition, this program should help students prepare for olympiads, exams, and also successfully pass English in universities.

Availability
The degree of difficulty of exercises and tests is determined by the students’ level of proficiency in the basics of grammar and the corresponding amount of lexical material.
- continuity
The material logically expands and deepens from language courses built according to the basic curriculum for secondary schools. On the one hand, gaps in basic training are repeated and filled, on the other hand, students’ knowledge is expanded by becoming familiar with the features of English grammar that were not studied in the basic course.
Scientificity

One of the main goals of teaching a foreign language in secondary school is practical. Learning a language involves mastering several types of speech activity, one of which is grammar.
