We have been organising exciting and innovative activity programmes for teenagers for over 20 years with great success.
Our teachers use a variety of methods to engage students in our bright and spacious classrooms. As well as textbooks, students improve their English through group work and class activities. Individual attention is given to each child in order to assess and cultivate their individual needs. Our courses offer a combination of language tuition in the mornings with sporting and cultural activities in the afternoons and evenings. We love to keep students busy and socialising!
