This approach helps students learning faster and more successfully. It also guarantees that students will learn something new every time.
Summer themes for Juniors include:

- You & Me
- Super Food

ACTIVITIES
Learning everywhere
Led by a specialist Activity Leader, our junior-friendly activities open up opportunities for students to develop new interests in a variety or areas while practising their English. This helps students develop a natural, fluent use of the language.
In the evening, students also have an activity programme which includes various social events like competitions, treasure hunts and film nights.
STUDY TOURS
Gaining new life experiences
There is no better way to learn about British life and culture than to experience it for yourself. Our juniors will visit some of the UK’s famous destinations!
Study tours are so important to our learning approach. Students prepare for their study tour in class and have educational tasks to complete during their trip, this is then discussed in lessons afterwards.
Enjoy study tours to exciting attractions like:
