Welcome to the very centre of one of the most exciting cities in the world. You'll have the chance to live and learn English in London, plus the excitement of being in the heart of the action: our campus is located in Shoreditch, in the eastern part of Central London, which means everything is close at hand. Many Londoners even consider Shoreditch to be one of the hippest neighbourhoods in town. Renowned for its street art, neighbouring Hoxton is a laboratory of creative ideas. It's the perfect setting for your language stay!

The school is set in a totally safe, well thought-out and bright campus. This environment favours communication and contributes to the well-being of all students. You will have a great time here with other young learners from all over the world! After the morning English classes, you'll have lunch on campus and then take part in cultural or sports activities. The campus’ sports centre was the official training venue for the Paralympic basketball teams in 2012 and you'll have the chance to exercise in these state-of-the-art facilities.

« He progresado mucho. Estar con tanta gente de otras nacionalidades te fuerza a hablar inglés constantemente y la interacción con los locales te hace practicar vocabulario muy distinto al visto en las clases del colegio. Los temas abordados en las clases del curso son muy útiles. »

Elena Jael M.

15 years old - Switzerland

/ 5

Die Hälfte aller Schüler bestand aus Deutschsprachigen. Ich fand der Standort der Schule gut. In der Nähe gab es kleine Läden und die U-Bahn war auch nicht weit entfernt. Wir hatten KEINE Freizeit! Wenn man das bisschen überhaupt noch Freizeit nennen kann ... Wir hatten insgesamt 4h Freizeit. Und das nicht mal regelmässig. Wir mussten auf JEDE Aktivität mitgehen und hatten keine Zeit London zu entdecken oder auch nur ein einziges mal alleine auf die U-Bahn zu gehen und die Freiheit zu geniessen. Natührlich konnten wir während den Aktivitäten/Ausflügen manchmal selber shoppen gehen oder einfach mal im Park entspannen aber dann eben nur wenn man über 14 Jahre alt war und die Eltern etwas unterschrieben haben.Wasd ich ja noch verstehen kann. London ist gross und gefährlich, aber ich ging nach London um die Stadt uf eigene Faust zu entdecken und geniessen. Wir mussten in einer 60 Personen Gruppe in die U- Bahn gehen, und hatten dann wenn wir an der Baker Street oder so angekommen waren max. 2h Freizeit in London. Das Team war wirklich sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Bei der Reception gab es noch einige Mängel doch das ALPADIA Team selbst war wirklich super. Sie waren auch multikult. Als ich einmal krank wurde haben sie nach mir gesehen. An all diesen Mängeln kann aber auch das Team von ALPADIA nichts.
