"The greatest wisdom is to teach what is useful", so goes the motto under which Dr. Bénédict built up his teaching career and system, a motto still valid today. With his extraordinary gift for teaching in a communicative style, he was able to put the most complex matter simply in a form easy to grasp. The secret of his formula: languages are but a part - even though an essential and highly effective one - of professional training. Basic material leads gradually to more complex evaluations and eventually to specialisation, such as correspondence, administrative and managerial tasks, typing and computer mastery, law, accountancy, and even simultaneous translation. More than many other institutes, the International Bénédict Schools stress the importance of personalized relationships between staff and students. For their hundreds of thousands of graduates, the Bénédict Schools' high quality and dedication have become a hallmark. Only private schools can offer tuition perfectly tailored to each student, efficient, brisk and personalized, given by specialists engaged in the daily world of trade and business. Curricula are instantly adapted to needs and meet the demands of immediate application in the field. Small classes enable closely personalized attention to each student's effective needs, in a cheerful atmosphere. Pedagogical means are constantly being brought up to date and reshaped at all times. This represents a huge advantage to learners.
