Summer Programme

Our Summer Programme runs during July and August each year, giving younger learners a complete experience of studying and living in England. The programme is intended for students under the age of 18 and includes tuition, activities, excursions, transport, and accommodation.

Tuition

Classes follow the normal school timetable and according to the normal school levels; from Elementary to Advanced. There is a maximum of 12 students per class and your teachers will be native English speakers, chosen not only for their qualifications but also for their experience and ability to make English language learning fun!

Classes follow our Main Course programme; you can find out more about this course choice on our website.

Activities

Weekday afternoons are about relaxing and using your English; our Leisure Programme Coordinator will organise various activities that include shopping trips, sports, and visits to local museums and places of interest. You will also have one afternoon excursion every week.

If the weather is bad, or if you don't feel like going out, you can stay at school and use the coffee room, which has internet-ready computers, a TV/DVD, stereo, table tennis, and some board games.

Excursions

Our Summer Programme includes one half-day excursion and one full-day excursion each week. The half-day excursion is an afternoon during the week and typical destinations would be Christchurch, Salisbury, Stonehenge, Winchester, and Poole.

The full-day excursion is taken either on Saturday or Sunday and our most popular destinations are London, Bath, Oxford, and the Jurassic Coast.

Transport

To take part in these activities and excursions, we also include bus tickets that will allow you to use the local buses at any time.

This also means that you can use the tickets to travel to and from your homestay accommodation free of charge.

Homestay Accommodation

You will live with carefully selected families who will provide three meals every day and will also look after you well. You can find out more about the accommodation offered by the school on this website.

You will need to take local buses to travel from the accommodation to school but the buses are regular and the journeys are quite short.
