Reviews by former students who attended a Junior (<18 years) course in York

Well-adapted lessons, good division of pupils into levels, lots of after-school activities, good facilities for breaks (kiosk and sports equipment).
Very good for learning free speaking skills and ‘thinking in English’.

All was excellent - the classes, and extra activities. Everyone was friendly. My grandson had a great time and learned how to speak when people can't switch to his own language. The exercises were very interesting - such as describing a word with different English ones.

I would like to know if you offer short courses during summer time ( two weeks in July) for 2 students aged: 12 and 14 years old.
They are not from UK, they are Italian citizens, but I am not interested in courses addressed to Italians, I would like them to be mixed with local students or students coming from other countries.

“Schools in the summer offer junior programmes, consisting of a package of English lessons (15 or 20 per week) + supervised activity programme + accommodation in a host family or student residence (the latter with 24/7 supervision).
The schools make an effort to ensure that in the accommodation the nationalities are mixed (but if the students want to stay together we can request this) and some also put a limit on the number of students coming from those countries where they have already reached a high number. ”
