It is our aim to provide an educational environment where students learn and enjoy 

 

themselves. All programmes were created by our team who are qualified and 

 

experienced people in their domain. These programmes are unique and under constant 

 

review to cater for the needs of our students.

 

What type of student are our courses suited to?

 

All students between the age of 11 to 17 years old who have completed at least one 

 

year of language learning at secondary level. No language experience is required for 

 

the summer camp stay due to this course being aimed at younger students.

 

How are the courses planned?

 

Very simply. Students are occupied at all times in class, during recreational activities 

 

or on day trips. We provide constant supervision by our qualified team or select 

 

host families. Language learning on the course is not just confined to the classroom, 

 

but involves a variety of cultural, sporting and other recreational activities. A key 

 

objective is to lower anxiety levels so that students learn in a relaxed and informal way.

 

Classes

 

On arrival at our courses students are tested to ensure they are placed in a suitable 

 

class. Classes are held 4 mornings a week (Monday - Friday). These classes provide 

 

condensed learning by our qualified teachers. In particular the classes concentrate on:

 

• developing oral fluency 

 

• revising basic grammatical structures 

 

Each student's progress is monitored and a written report is sent to parents at the end 

 

of the course.

 

Activities

 

 In the afternoons, there are numerous recreational activities to choose from such as 

 

football, volleyball, basketball, rounders, arts and crafts, drama, Swimming, Pitch 

 

and Putt(Golf) and many others.

 

 

 

Rules and Regulations

 

In order to secure the atmosphere we wish to prevail in our centers, it is expected 

that students will follow certain rules and procedures. These rules and procedures 

have been drawn up in the student’s own interest.

 

Discipline

 

Theft and vandalism -any pupil found stealing or vandalizing property is liable to be 

expelled. Pupils will be charged for damages.

Alcohol and drugs – the possession and consumption of alcohol and the use of drugs are 

strictly forbidden and warrant immediate expulsion.

Smoking – Smoking is strictly forbidden in our centers and warrant immediate expulsion.

General behavior – A high standard of behavior and good manners is required at all times. 

Students must obey the direction of staff. Disrespect, persistent, disobedience, unruly 

behavior or bullying towards staff or fellow students, will not be tolerated. Failure to 

comply with these rules will warrant expulsion and no reimbursement of fees is permitted, no exceptions will be made.
