ACTIVITIES
Learning Everywhere
Led by a dedicated Activity Leader, our activities give juniors the chance to discover new interests and improve their English at the same time. This helps students develop a more natural and 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:
