Homestay

We strongly believe that our homestay families are an important part of our success. They are carefully selected and checked for safety and for their understanding of international students. The welfare officer and principal regularly checks that each and every student is happy throughout the course.

Airport Transfer

Chauffeured airport meet and greet can be arranged but is not included in the fee. We can also help to check students in for the return - see details.

Nationalities

There is always a very good mix of nationalities in the classes. We encourage only English to be spoken in class. Students of the same nationality are, wherever possible, not together.

Syllabus

The focus is on grammar and communication. We cover all of the main skills of Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening using the most modern resources. Our aim is to significantly boost every student's English in a short time ready for school or university in September.
