2.3 English For Education
This is a fun, stimulating Summer programme featuring weekly projects. Each week the students learn English through a topic, for example Fame & Celebrity or Saving the Planet. In addition, students learn English through subjects including Maths, Science, Technology and Drama. All learning is connected to the topic, as well as the weekly ‘Discover London’ academic excursion. There is one afternoon of sports per week, as well as an optional lunchtime sports programme. Students will develop General English Skills, Communication Skills and Academic & Study Skills as well as having a lot of fun in and out of class. Students are divided into classes by age group (10-14 and 15-17) and by level (beginner to advanced). Our teachers are language and subject specialists with experience of working with 10-17 year old students.
Each week, students visit a London attraction which is integrated into the weekly theme of study.
Minibus Pick Up Zones
Accommodation & Transfers
Accommodation can be arranged in a home stay through an accommodation agency. Home stays are carefully selected and regularly inspected. Home stay providers will assist with students’ laundry. Accommodation fees are for 7 nights, with a minimum 2 week booking. Fees are for a shared or single room with breakfast and dinner daily. In addition, children will have their lunch at the school Monday to Friday. Shared room prices are only available for two students enrolling and travelling together. We can arrange airport transfers from all London airports: Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stansted and City for up to 3 people travelling to or from one London address per taxi. We need flight details 2 weeks before arrival at the latest.
Welfare and Extra Trips
24-hour emergency telephone numbers are issued to students and their parents. A member of staff can be contacted at any time should students encounter any problem or difficulty. Medical support is always available. We maintain very close supervision of students at all times, to ensure their safety and well-being. Students are inducted on their first morning as to the school rules and are expected to follow them during the school day. Students are also offered additional activities 1 day a week after school and on Saturdays. These non-academic activities are a chance to relax, have fun and practise English with friends and staff. Students pay transport and entrance (approximately £15 for an evening activity and £40 for a Saturday excursion).

A good way to learn English and to make friends of other countries. My younger boy has learnt lot of vocabulary and is very happy of the content. To learn English is very interesting. According to my 2 oldest sons the pedagogic content is not so interesting as the idiomatic one – the language.
