Language courses for children and teenagers abroad: Eastbourne College Programme (14-17)

Oriel Ortega

Summer camp, Eastbourne
Duration: 4 weeks

With the support of the president of the “La Salle” High School in Panama, Brother Omael Yuen and a group of students aged 14 to 17 went on a trip to Eastbourne. My name is Oriel Ortega and I was in charge of supervising the group. The young learners attended a 4-week language course at the prestigious Saint Giles International College. The course was combined with social and cultural activities, along with excursions to London, Paris and Amsterdam.

I wanted to send you this email to congratulate you. The coordination and organization of the Eastbourne summer camp, in which my son Luis Arturo García took part, were perfect, from start to finish. Everything was excellent, from the advice of Elisa Bosco, who received us for a personal interview, to the supervision of the teacher, Oriel Ortega, who travelled with the kids, not forgetting my son’s host family, the classes and the international environment of the camp, which allowed him to develop his cultural baggage. As regards the excursions included in the programme, I could write a whole book to tell you everything my son Luis told me about this experience, which he found amazing. I send you my best wishes and I hope you will continue with this programme. I wish you lots of success.

Firstly I would like to thank ESL. I feel proud to be able to return home having achieved good academic results. I can say without doubt that this has been the best experience of my life so far. I met many people of different nationalities and have improved my English skills, as I could communicate with them only in that language.

I think the location of the school is perfect. It is easy to get there from the guest family and is located near to the town centre (where you find shops, restaurants, etc). Sadly I don’t know all of the teaching staff from the school. I had only three or four teachers for my English course. However, in my experience and what I have (heard from the students), all of the teachers are excellent. They are very nice and teach us many new things. I really like the school because it is very comfortable and we have a lot of fun.
