Improve your English inside and outside the Classroom! Every week our team organises an activity programme for you with about 3 activities. Most of these are free to attend, such as quiz evenings, tournaments, games at school, movie night… Others may run in conjunction with one of our partners, with a maximum of £10, such as bowling, laser tag, mini golf, ice skating, etc.

Our Conversation Club takes place once a week which is all about socialising with students while improving your English. We will provide you and the other students with a topic (suggestions are always welcome) that we will all discuss together. A couple of challenges will be set and you will be presented with the main vocabulary relevant to the topic.

In addition to your course you can book 2 language workshops of 60 minutes each per week. The workshops take place in the afternoon on Mondays and Thursdays from 3:30 to 4:30 pm. The Monday workshop treats productive and receptive skills (we do them on alternate weeks), these skills are reading, listening, writing, speaking and pronunciation. On Thursday it is time for our “Job Club Workshop” which treats topics such as writing CVs, preparing for interviews in English, creating elevator pitches and much more.

The price for 2 workshops per week is £19.00 per person.

You stay in a single room with one of our friendly and experienced homestay hosts, most of whom have been welcoming students for many years. Some live close to the campus while others are a bus-ride (on average 30, max. 45 minutes, costs for public transport not included) away. Our host families live in Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch.You can purchase bus passes (Yellow busses) at our school. Weekly bus passes cost approx. £20.

During your stay you will learn something about the everyday life of a British family. You will get full board accommodation (breakfast and dinner and a packed lunch). Vegetarian food available. All other special diets or food allergies on request only. Halal and kosher food is not available. Please advise at least 4 weeks prior arrival about any special diet.

You can choose a Self-arranged Journey from the airport in the UK to our centre in Bournemouth. If you are 16 or 17 years old this requires you to be accompanied by your parent(s) or a Guardian from the airport to Bournemouth or from Bournemouth to the airport.

In case you can’t meet the required times for the Low Budget Transfer we are happy to organise Individual Transfers for you from/to London Heathrow or Gatwick with well-known taxi and transfer companies with DBS checked drivers. We offer a one-way service to the centre and /or a return service to the airport for a flat rate. On the day of arrival our Meet & Greet Service will be waiting for you at the exit area of customs and will, if not requested otherwise, take you directly to our school in Bournemouth, where students will either be picked up by their hosts or walk to the residence.

On the day of departure, you will leave Bournemouth as required in order to make sure you arrive at the airport in time. For your own safety, we will assist you with the check-in for your flight.

Out-of-hours arrivals/departures: you will in most cases be taken/picked up directly to/from the homestay or the residence. Please note that host family student arrivals/departures between 6:00 and 22:00 will be collected by their hosts at the school and dropped off by their hosts there. For very early/late arrivals/departures in/from the centre (24.00-6.00), an alternative accommodation needs to be arranged.
