The size of the school is large, with students from many different countries, a Foundation Course, high-quality classes and students, and good facilities. The school is located a little away from the city center, but there are supermarkets and other stores within walking distance, so it is very convenient.

Bayswater

The school is super central and can be reached from all locations, it is also relatively small, has about 8 teachers and is therefore very family-oriented. There is an extra emergency number, a break room that is used by all students (incl. table football and table tennis) and the secretaries take great care of the well-being and coping of the students. Afternoon activities are always voluntary and a lot of fun! Including jazz pubs, comedy nights, films, laser tag and much more. I recommend it recommend!!! I was there for 4 weeks.

Q&A - Questions and answers about Brighton

  • The standard course is a general English course and it focuses on all aspects of the language and you would definitely benefit from attending this type of programme but it is not an exam preparation course.
    As your level of English is advanced and your goal is passing the Cambridge Advanced Exam, I would definitely recommend opting for the CAE preparation course.
    Gosia Mazur, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 22, 2024
  • I think that in your case a good option would be General English. These courses focus on all aspects of the language: writing, reading, grammar, conversation, listening comprehension, etc.
    A standard course consists of 20 lessons per week, Monday through Friday. More and less intensive options are also available.
    Gosia Mazur, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 28, 2022
  • Lunch is not included in the price. Parents may collect their children for lunch together or provide a packed lunch for the school's supervised on-site lunch sessions.
    Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 23, 2022
  • At the time of writing, the schools Loxdale English Centre and BLC International run a junior programme (Winter Program) in the month of January.
    Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 08, 2022
  • The minimum required English level to book the IELTS Preparation Exam in Brighton is B1. As an alternative, you can combine General English lessons with private lessons focused on the IELTS exam. Private lessons allow the student to focus on the missing links in their language acquisition or on a particular subject or vocabulary.
