We specialize in short courses for overseas students which are particularly structured for boys and girls between 8-14 years. Our summer programmes are designed to giver our students a great, action-packed holiday, which offers lots of excursions, activities and fun, whilst improving their English Language skills and forming international friendships.

The students’ EFL lessons are in classes of 4-14 students and they are grouped according to their level of ability. All students following a short course have 15 hours of English tuition each week. Lessons usually start at 09.00 after a delicious breakfast. There is a 30 minute break at 10.30 and the second lesson of the day takes place from 11.00 – 12.30.

After lunch the students have a daily activity programme, sometimes on site, but more frequently to activities in the local area such as wind-surfing, kayaking, rock-climbing, mountain-biking, ice-skating, nine-pin bowling and so on. Our full day excursions include such places as York, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, Newcastle, Bamborough , the Isle of Skye and so on.

Programmes of 2-8 weeks are available from the end of June to the end of August, while 2-3 week courses are possible during March and April. For groups interested in a shorter time in the UK, we have 10-day programmes available in February and October. Please contact Vivienne Curry on 0044-77-3949-1069 for details.

Please note that we only accept groups of up to 20 students from any one country at any given time (with accompanying staff). These places are therefore in great demand and should be booked early.
