Course description

Programme
In the mornings, students have their lessons in small groups, with our fully qualified teachers. The classes stress the use of language in everyday situations and on specific topics such as music, fil, fashion, local culture, social media, etc.. A variety of materials are used in instruction, including role-playing, games, newspapers, magazines and other materials.

During the afternoons, students can enjoy our long list of activities as well as exploring the beautiful beaches, countryside and the many historical places Guernsey has to offer. Guernsey is the ideal place for your son or daughter to learn a high standard of English in a safe, fun and stimulating way!

Activities can include Kayaking, Coasteering, High Ropes, Paddle Boarding, Bowling, Beach Games, Archery, Beach BBQ’s, Cinema, Visits to Herm Island, Museums, Cliff Walks, Shopping, and much more…!

Accommodation Host family accommodation is full board, including breakfast, a packed lunch and an evening meal each day. Special diets can be catered for on request (subject to a surcharge). Students will be collected from the Airport or Harbour on arrival and taken there to return. They will also be given a bus card to travel by bus each day, if needed. Hosts can be located all around the island and are diverse with hosts ranging from couples, singles, retired people, families with children and one-parent families.
