Venue: The cathedral city of Canterbury is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a recorded history that goes as far back as England’s recorded history itself. Canterbury was the region’s capital during the Stone Age and again in the medieval Kingdom of Kent. It is currently home to three universities, and is a lively, vibrant city. Concorde International Junior Centre Canterbury uses two different locations for its programmes for young learners. The Study Centre is located right in the heart of Canterbury, just a four-minute walk from the famed Canterbury Cathedral. Less than ten minutes’ drive away, the residential programme is based at Kent College, in Rough Common, near the University of Kent.

Options: Students at Concorde International Junior Centre in Canterbury have several options to choose from. First between the two different centres, which offer different types of accommodation, and then for the programme they wish to follow. Students at the Study Centre in the city location lodge with local families, many of whom have been working with the school for years. The programmes at Kent College are residential, and students are housed right on campus.

Programmes: All programmes include a full agenda of activities to keep students active throughout the day, and regular outings and excursions during the week. It is also possible to choose from different extra activities such as horse riding, FCE Exam preparation, or Global Green Environment, a programme for teens which focuses on global issues, local environment, sustainability, and community.

Experience: Concorde International has more than fifty years of experience in the sector and is accustomed to working with children and teens, as well as providing options to suit the entire family.
