Leisure

You will never become bored in Edinburgh and its surroundings. During your free time, you can discover castles, museums, the zoo, pubs, the Highlands, Loch Ness and many other things. In addition, as a follow-up to your English classes, the school offers a rich programme of social activities combining culture, sport, going out and excursions. All this with the idea of turning your language study trip into an experience which goes beyond language learning.
