Course content

Your child will enjoy English lessons in the morning and activities conducted in English in the afternoon.

Students will have 15 hours of English lessons a week, taught by qualified teachers with extensive young learner experience. On their first day, students will have a placement test to assess their English level, they will then be placed into classes based on their level. Each class has a maximum of 15 students.

During their lessons students will learn and practise their English, while having fun, and developing other important life skills such as team-work and confidence.

Students follow our weekly themes which allow them to improve their English while learning about other subjects. These include:

• Environment (Our Planet)
• World Culture (Our World)
• News and Environment (Our Space)
• Science and Technology (Our Future)
• Society (Our Community)

Each afternoon students will take part in a range of activities such as football, basketball, tennis, rounders, art attack, yoga and many more. All of these are led by our experienced Activity Leader team.

Study trips are also a big part of the course, with one full-day and one half-day trip to places of interest in the UK included every week.

• Cambridge trips include: Warwick Castle, Oxford city centre, London with a Thames boat cruise and royalty walking tour, and punting on the river Cam.
• Trips at Frensham include: Windsor Castle, Winchester Planetarium, London with a Thames boat cruise and royalty walking tour, and Brighton including the Brighton i360, the famous Pier and the Lanes.
