A Culture of English Immersion
We hold high expectations for our students, both in and out of the classroom. We encourage them to immerse themselves in an English-speaking environment, speaking English at all times, both during lessons and in their daily interactions. Hard work and dedication are key principles we expect from our students to help them achieve their academic goals.
However, it’s not solely about studying. We recognize the importance of balance and offer opportunities for students to relax and socialize with their fellow international summer school students. During breaks and after school, students can take the opportunity to make friendships and create lasting memories. Additionally, we provide a vibrant schedule of activities, including afternoons filled with various sports options, evening social events, and exciting all-day coach or train excursions every Saturday.
Investing in Your Child’s Future
As a family- run school, we understand the importance learning English has on shaping your child’s future. We know what a difference this certification might make to your child and the opportunities it creates for them in their future academic and working lives.
