Lessons normally take place from Monday to Friday between 09:00 and 11:45. Each of the three morning lessons focuses on a specific area of language learning: grammar and language work, reading and listening, or communicative activities and speaking practice.

Excursions are a part of our programme and included in the price. During your first week you have one half-day trip included. If you stay more than one week you will have one additional half-day excursion and one full day trip per additional week.

Each trip consists of a guided tour of the area with some interesting background information and stops at the nicest photo locations. Our supervisors will not only tell you more about the city but also where the coolest shops and cafés are, because after the guided tour you will have some free time with your friends for shopping and discovering on your own! The amount of free time allowed depends on the students’ age. We reserve the right to organise excursions by public transport.

SURF COURSE (3 x 2 hours)

available as a supplement

Bournemouth is ideal for surfing (wave riding). For those of you who want to combine English lessons and the surf experience, we offer this special course with our surf partner in Bournemouth. In the mornings you will attend the General or Intensive English course with your fellow students.

The surfing course consists of three afternoons with two lessons each. Equipment will be provided. Depending on the weather, tide and the size of the waves the surf lessons might vary. Therefore, paddle boarding is offered as an alternative when the weather conditions don’t allow surfing.

Please bear in mind that booking this course combination may prevent you from joining other activities or a scheduled excursion.

This special is not included in the programme and must be booked in advance at least 2 weeks prior arrival.

Price: £144.00

Each bedroom has a private shower, toilet and washbasin and there is a common room in each flat. Bed-linen is provided, but please bring your own towels (do not forget beach towels!).

Public laundrettes with coin-operated washing and drying machines as well as public phone booths are situated in or close to the residence. A safe is not available, but you will get a key to lock your room. Also, our supervisors live in the residence and are available for any inquiries.

You’ll get full board accommodation that includes breakfast, warm lunch and dinner. We cater for vegetarians and special diets e.g. gluten free, lactose free and halal. Please advise at least 14 days prior arrival about any special diet. All meals are taken in the self-service refectory of the school, which is just a 10-minute-walk from the residence.

Homestay

You may also stay in a twin room (triple rooms on request ) with one of our friendly homestay hosts, most of whom have been welcoming students for many years. Some live close to the campus while others are a bus-ride away in Bournemouth, Poole or Christchurch (on average 30, max. 45 minutes, costs for public transport not included – weekly bus ticket approx. £17). Our hosts are not always traditional families with children but can also be single with or without children, older people and young families with or without children, but all of them have been carefully selected by our team. You will share the room with another IP student of the same sex and approx. the same age but if possible of a different nationality. If you are travelling with a friend and you’d like to share the room please advise at the time of your booking.

Homestay accommodation is a good opportunity for independent students who like to learn something about the everyday life of a British family. You will get full board accommodation (breakfast, packed lunch and dinner). Vegetarian food is also available. All other special diets or food allergies on request only and with supplement. Halal and kosher food is not available. Please advise at least 4 weeks prior to arrival about any special diet.

Our Supervision Concept

Your safety and welfare are very important to us, therefore our supervision concept for students in our Summer Language Holidays Programme is based on a compulsory activity programme during afternoons and evenings seven days a week. The cornerstone of this programme are the daily „Time to Talk“ meetings.

13 to 15 year olds

You participate in a compulsory programme consisting of a wide choice of afternoon activities and at least one planned evening activity. During town walks our staff will accompany you into town. You will then have the opportunity to explore the city centre with your friends in pairs or bigger groups for a period of up to two hours.

16 to 17 year olds

Teenagers aged 16 or 17 are free to experience and explore things with their friends in pairs or bigger groups on and off campus. Our supervisors provide a good mix of supervision and personal freedom for this age group. Participation in the afternoon activity programme is voluntary for students over the age of 16.

 

Time to Talk

You will be part of a TTT (Time to Talk) group of up to 25 students. In the lunchtime TTT you tell your supervisor what you want to do in the afternoon and the supervisor will put you in the respective sign-up list which will be checked when the programme starts. The same happens at the dinner time TTT for the evening event.
