Good questions, honest answers
Quick answers — and we're one WhatsApp message away for anything else.
When do summer courses run?
Through June, July and August. Start any Monday and stay from one week to the whole summer.
What activities are included?
A published weekly programme — beach sports, social evenings and local visits are included. A few off-site evening activities (disco, bowling, mini golf, Laser Quest) and full-day excursions carry an extra charge.
I'm coming alone — will I make friends?
Yes — that's the point! Almost everyone arrives alone, and the daily activity programme means you'll have a friendship group within days.

Of course. Many summer students extend into our year-round General and Intensive English courses.
