Residential style English Language Courses for Young People

A Typical Day | Younger Learners' Activities

We have many years of experience with teenagers' English language courses. There are no stuffy classrooms here. Everyone enjoys the comfortable ECHO school house, where the rooms for English classes feel like being in someone's home.

The prices of all our English courses for children include excellent meals, accommodation, study materials and a Saturday excursion to a major tourist city in the South of England. For Prices, click here

Parents know their children on an ECHO English course are safe. We are based in a nice residential area a short bus ride away from exciting Brighton. We also make sure that young people under 18 are well supervised and that in their free time we always know where they are.

Kids on an ECHO English language course enjoy all-day access to great facilities - over 500 dvds/videos, lots of books, drinks and snacks and a free laundry service for those staying over 2 weeks. For a small weekly charge personal use can be made of the computer room and internet connection.

Our Three English Courses for Young People

JUNIOR COURSES	AGES 12 - 14
On the courses for our youngest learners, every weekday there are three hours of morning lessons. Then, every afternoon and evening, there are organised sport and cultural activities. See some elements of our varied programme of activities at the bottom of the page.
INTERMEDIATE COURSES	AGES 15-16
On our courses for teenagers of 15 and 16 years old there are three hours of morning lessons every day. Then Tuesday and Thursday have academic afternoons involving classes and homework which is marked by course tutors. Monday afternoon is for sport, and Friday afternoons are spent either film-making or in group project presentations. On Wednesday afternoons there is a cultural outing to introduce 'English Way of Life'. There is an evening excursion once a week to, for example, the billard hall.
GENERAL COURSE	AGES 17+
For the older members of our Englsih courses for young people , their three hours of lessons are followed by an academic programme. This involves meeting with the course director for about 10-15 minutes, and being given about two hours of study, which is then assessed and discussed at the next meeting. We encourage students to socialise in the evenings and offer a range of opportunities for outings to local places.

  ECHO students keep coming back to us year after year because they know that this is where they can really improve their English.

  We work hard to make sure all the students in the school are happy and that they are all speaking English.

  Parents and students should know that we are a disciplined school and that in extreme circumstances we have been forced to send home students who cannot work within the system.

  If you are looking for a lazy time with only a little bit of basic English study, then ECHO is not the school for you!

   

  It is important to recognise that ECHO is a school and not a summer camp. Of course we make sure our students have lots of fun while they are here, but it is our job to make sure everyone's English imporoves as much as possible.
