School

School

The programme is aimed at young people from 13-17 years. Our partner school is located in a secure area around the cathedral, in an impressive medieval building equipped with modern, bright and well-equipped classrooms. You will learn English in this historical building in the centre of the old town of Canterbury - what a programme! After classes, you will be able to meet your new friends for an animated discussion in the common room. The secure and autonomous campus is ideal for younger students or for those who are having their first experience of a summer course abroad.

The school guarantees reduced student numbers with a maximum of 12 students in each class, ideal for making fast progress! You will not only learn grammar and vocabulary, but will of course practise communication by speaking English with increasingly more ease. At the end of your stay, you receive a certificate which will attest to the language level reached.

Accommodation

Residence St-Augustin
Our partner school will accommodate you within the school campus, in the St-Augustin residence, 5 minutes' walk from the course centre. Here, you will take your meals morning, noon and evening in one of the two restaurant rooms, except in the case of excursions where you will receive a packed lunch. You will stay in a single, double or triple room with a sink. The toilets and bathrooms are common and shared by students. A cleaning service is available once a week and vending machines allow you to satisfy you when you have the nibbles. You will be able to meet your new friends in the lounges equipped with a TV for moments of relaxation, but perhaps you would prefer to spend time outside, on the sports grounds?

Leisure

After classes, you will meet up with the other participants for the activities programme. And in Canterbury, sport is king! It has an important place among the activities proposed every week by the school, You can practise football, basketball, bowling and swimming in order to let of steam after class. Unless you would prefer to enjoy yourself in the disco evenings or participate in the outings dedicated to shopping and visits of local attractions like the boat trip on the Stour River. To complete the programme, every week, a half-day excursion, generally on Tuesdays, gives you the chance to discover the neighbouring cities like London, Brighton, Eastbourne or Hastings. With such a programme, you don't risk getting bored with your new international friends!

Tennis option
After the English classes, work on your tennis skills! For 8 hours per week over 4 afternoons, you will improve your technique as well as your tactics, in singles or doubles, thanks to the personalised advice provided by your LTA qualified coaches.

Testimonial

Rayan SERI I went to Canterbury for 2 weeks and I found my language study trip absolutely amazing! I received a very friendly welcome when I arrive on King’s school campus and immediately felt comfortable there. On the campus, you could not get bored! There were volleyball and football pitches, common rooms, and so much more. The activity leaders and teachers were really great! Even though the English accent was quite difficult to understand at first, we came to understand it gradually. I met many people from the whole world and it will remain forever engraved in my heart. During my stay, I built strong ties, which I would never have thought possible within only two weeks. The activities were great, thrilling and very varied. Every morning, we attended courses and they were really good, especially thanks to the teachers and the fabulous classes. Then we had lunch in immense dining halls and the food was delicious. I am very happy that I went to Canterbury and above all, that I chose ESL to organise my trip. I wish I had stayed longer than 2 weeks. It was sad to say goodbye to my friends but I’m trying to keep in touch! I hope to go back there very soon!
