What our students said about Bristol
It's a very beautiful city, as there are also lots of trees and flowers growing there, which I find very nice! I also really like the houses there! The buses were almost always on time and travelled relatively often. All in all, I would love to come again.
It is a fairly large city that offers many services, which is the idea that I carried.
Bristol is worth a trip! With a great history and many attractions.
It offers many alternatives for all tastes.
They should pick up the trash more often.

School with efficient, modern teaching (your course is personalized and you have a QR code with all the course notes so you can focus on what's going on in the classroom).
The teachers are good listeners. I appreciated their dynamism.
And a real ++ for Ian Waston.

I would like to go to Bristol to improve my speaking skills. I think the best thing would be to stay with a family who can give me the opportunity to practise my English more, even if I let you advise me.
We are interested in booking a day camp for students aged 13 and 15. Do you have any options?
I would like to host students in Bristol. Who do I contact?
