Language & activities with the Course Plus option

One of the best ways for young students to learn a language is by combining it with their favourite activity. Learning is much easier and enjoyable when you combine it with fun, exciting hobbies that your child loves! Here are just a few options: 

Course + Football

Nothing beats the thrill of a good game of football with new international friends after a language class. Our Course Plus football option gives young learners expert coaching and will help them soak up the football culture of their destination! 

Course + Horse Riding

Learning to ride a horse is a great new skill for animal lovers to get some fresh air and enjoy the idyllic countryside of their host country! Each of our Course Plus Horse Riding schools offers dedicated lessons that cater to both beginner and expert riders alike!

Course + Fencing

Fencing promotes healthy focus, adaptability, and respect for fellow students, not unlike language-learning itself! Whether your child is a beginner or an expert, our fencing lessons will turn them into the next Zorro while they learn their new language.

Course + Surfing

Sun, salty sea air, and the adrenaline rush of catching a big wave! Our Course Plus Surf programme offers young learners the chance to join their host country’s local surfer scene and ride the waves right into language fluency!

Course + Scuba diving

Discover the secrets of the deep with a scuba-diving course between language courses! This programme will offer young learners the chance to earn their PADI certificate, or for established divers to explore their host country below the waves!
