Immersion > our secret formula!

Different students need different challenges. Some students need the extra academic challenge of our Get Ahead options. However, for other students the first priority is improving their fluency and confidence in English. Here’s how we deliver immersion:

Native speakers everywhere! 

For a better immersion experience, British teenagers do activities with our international students.

1:4 staff to student ratio

With a very high staff to student ratio of 1:4, we really can make sure that students speak English all day from 0730 to 2230.

The best nationality mix

We have strict limits on the number of speakers of each language. This means that for students, speaking in English is not an option, it’s a must! Read more about the advantages of summer programmes designed for individuals on our blog.

Learning English never stops

Even when students are doing Professional Sport or activities such as music lessons or cooking, our teachers are introducing new vocabulary and helping students practise grammatical structures.

Up to 24 hours of English included

By choosing Get Ahead Intensive English students can study up to 24 hours of English a week: 15 hours  of Core English and 9 hours of PET, FCE or IELTS.

Motivation

Our ‘Get Ahead’ options (included in the price), which include Performing Arts, Leadership and Professional Sport, motivate students to learn more by giving them the opportunity to use their English to develop the skills and knowledge that they are interested in.

Staff who understand language learning

Amy is the Senior House Parent,  Anna  is the Activity Designer Manager. They do not teach in the summer, but they are qualified teachers, which means they know how to help students practise English even when they aren’t in class.
