An organisation mainly handling intensive language training for adults but also running junior courses, all at its own schools - a total of 10, plus more centres in summer.
Where
France, Germany and Spain.
Ages
Courses for young learners are for 13-17 years though a study and leisure programme is available from seven years.
How Long
One week to one year.
Learning
Generally on junior courses around 20 45-minute lessons per week with homework set daily. These can be one to one or in groups of four or of eight. There is the option of varying the number of lessons from 10 to 35 per week (totalling six or seven hours per day) though this is not on the whole recommended for younger clients.
Other Activities
Most courses are termed study and leisure programmes with cultural and sports activities alongside classes. There is an academic director on site and a leisure director in charge of the leisure programme, who visits every class daily to register students on their choice of afternoon activity.
Accommodation
Home stays (no two students of the same nationality are hosted in the same home) with host families reported carefully selected. College accommodation may also be available.
Sample Price
£327 per week on a study and leisure home stay programme or on a full study programme £396. Airport transfers are extra at say Euros50 from Paris.
