Language holidays for school students are offered all year round, especially during the holidays
Your children benefit enormously from a language holiday in England for school students. Pupils can gain their first experience abroad without their parents, improve the English they have learnt at school and make new friends in an international environment. Many young people come back from their language stay not only with better English but also more mature. English teachers often manage to spark motivation and enthusiasm for the language. English thus turns from a school subject into an everyday tool – because besides the lessons, the activity programme also takes place entirely in English. English is spoken in the host family or at the boarding school too. Children and young people spend their entire stay in English; they have to make themselves understood and so also gain valuable life experience.
A language holiday in England for school students is offered for every age group from 3 to 18
Besides placement at the right language level, age is of course also taken into account when classes are formed. The activity programme is likewise differentiated by age. All programmes offer a wide range of sports and leisure activities, and various excursions are made as well. At boarding schools in particular, some sports (such as football or horse riding) can be chosen as a focus. The cost of a language holiday in England for school students is generally higher than for adults, because supervision is much more intensive and the activity programme is included in the price. The language holidays can take place in most school holidays (at Easter, Whitsun, in the summer or in the autumn holidays).
The boarding schools stand out for the wide range of sports and leisure facilities on their campuses, which is why they are generally more expensive than courses with accommodation in a host family.
Host family or boarding school?
Language holidays for school students as you wish, with accommodation in selected host families or at a boarding school
Both have their advantages: in the family, English is spoken outside lessons in a relaxed atmosphere. The families are selected according to strict criteria and, in addition to various safety rules, must also submit a police clearance certificate. The families genuinely want to be hosts – because anyone who only thinks about money can let a guest room more easily. The families look after their guests and, depending on the age of the guest, have to meet various criteria in order to be allowed to accommodate children of that age.
At boarding school, young people are accommodated in six-bed, four-bed or single rooms and separated by age. The distances to school are short, because both the boarding house with the bedrooms and the school building are on the same grounds. Boarding school grounds are enclosed areas that usually offer a wide range of sports and leisure facilities. Especially in terms of safety, there is no better accommodation.
Feedback from A. and R. Rietz:
Our daughters quickly felt at home.
Unlike in Germany, they were happy to go to the language school every day of the week they had booked – in their school holidays, mind you. Many thanks to “English in Britain” for the smooth and excellent support in choosing the language school; it was very helpful and we can recommend it without reservation!
Feedback from M. Schmöger:
Our son was at the language school for the second time.
The school is wonderful at teaching the language in a relaxed way, is also very flexible when it comes to the unexpected and makes everything possible that can be made possible. The activities were perfectly matched to what excites each age group. In the host family he was welcomed like a member of the family, and he is still in contact with his host mother.
Feedback from K. Visschedyk:
I must give you great praise for the excellent advice and preparation for the language holiday. Even the communication beforehand was outstanding.
It is such a pleasant experience to be able to rely on a person’s judgement of quality and not get lost in the jungle of offers on the internet. After the 14 days, we picked up a very happy child with lots of new impressions directly from the campus. The language school has an excellent concept and good coordination of excursion days and lessons in class. Many, many thanks for your support.
Feedback from S. Kretschmer:
Our daughters really enjoyed Oxford and Cambridge. They would give a grade 1 (top marks) across the board.
The teachers were good, the families and the lessons too. One of our daughters definitely wants to go back next year, and that speaks for itself. Your preselection of schools was excellent. You and your staff always took a lot of time to answer my questions, no matter how difficult they were.
Feedback from K. Greimel:
My son was in Oxford during the Easter holidays and really enjoyed it.
Highly professional. The accommodation with a host family was also excellent.
Feedback from M. Burckhardt:
I was surprised how much fun English could be, quite unlike the rather dull lessons in Germany.
At the language school you work in small groups and the teachers adapt to the needs of the students, not the other way round. In my one-to-one lessons I was able to work specifically on my problems and have now received all the help I need for my Abitur exam, help that teachers in Germany could never give us. I recommend this language course to every student whose goal is to improve their English, because this language course is exactly the right thing!
Feedback from L. Marchand:
My daughter took part in the language course with golf lessons, was absolutely thrilled in every respect and wanted only one thing: to go back again next year.
The atmosphere among the students and in training was “super cool”, to put it in her words. I myself was also very satisfied with the advice and the organisation as a whole; both beforehand and on site, everything was perfectly planned and organised. It was her first flight on her own, so I found the advice, the organisation and the reliability very important. Overall, I can only give a grade of 1 – very good! Many thanks!
Feedback from J. Bradtner:
Our son was at the football camp and was absolutely thrilled.
After a day at home, he would have liked to go straight back. For Moritz it was a great experience and exactly the right programme!!! He is still in touch with many of the boys from the camp via social networks, and they want to try to meet there again next year.
Feedback from H. Lawes:
The assessment of my daughter’s stay in Ireland is quickly written. My daughter was absolutely delighted. We have heard nothing but the best about the school.
Our daughter really made progress. The highlight, of course, was the riding. Great horses, very good riding instructors and wonderful rides on the beach. Your advice when planning the trip was really outstanding. In our case, Mr Stein could be reached at any time and supported us in word and deed. Of course, that did a lot to reassure us beforehand.
English for school students
The most important points:
Most language holidays in England for school students are of course offered during the holidays, but there are also courses that run all year round.
In general, there are two types of accommodation: either with a host family in an English family’s home or at a boarding school, where bedrooms are usually shared with other international students at the school.
A language holiday in England for school students is offered for every age group from 3 to 18; besides placement at the right language level, age is of course also taken into account when classes are formed.
Sports and leisure activities as well as various excursions complement the lessons.
Holiday courses are also available in more intensive versions, but above all they should not lose sight of the holidays and should simply be fun.
