The EC programme

The course centre used by the EC school for its juniors programme benefits from an ideal location, close to the town centre and only a few minutes away from the seafront. Students staying with a host family will be able to get there easily by public transport whilst those who have opted for accommodation in the residence will stay on-site. The courses are organised according to a zig-zag system. They take place from 8.30 a.m. to 12.00 p.m. one week and from 2.00 p.m. to 17.30 p.m. the following week. If you opt for the intensive course, you will have extra lessons between 12.30 p.m. and 2.00 p.m. But whatever your schedule, the students all meet up for the activities programme outside of class times. The classes are made up of a maximum of 15 people each and are organised by level. The evaluation test which you will sit on the first day of the course will determine which group you will join.
