Classes
Classes take place in the mornings. They typically focus on strengthening grammatical understanding and use, developing vocabulary, and building fluency and confidence when speaking.
Classes are organised by level. There are usually 5 or 6 students in each group, with a maximum of 8. Classes follow a fun, communicative method, and the small numbers mean they can be designed around student needs.
Afternoon and Evening Activities
Students have sport and social programmes each afternoon and evening from Monday to Friday. These include football and badminton, student theatre productions and karaoke, as well as trips into Brighton and Hove for the famous Pier and the museums. Activities are led by teachers, and students can really practise what they have learnt in their lessons.
There is also a project every week, such as making a film or inventing a game. Project groups are drawn from all levels and classes, so enabling students to really learn from each other.
