Language School 2014

Welcome

The CourseThe English course is designed to be an interesting, enjoyable and beneficial way of helping the students improve their language skills. There are 5 levels of teaching, ranging from Elementary to Advanced, with 23 hours of teaching and homework set on 4 nights per week. We guarantee small class sizes, averaging a maximum of 8 students to each teacher, enabling us to deliver greater individual attention. Students are assessed at the start of the Course and placed in a class appropriate to their level of English proficiency. At the end of the Course, there will be a final assessment and students will receive a certificate at an awards ceremony together with a full report detailing their progress and attainment.

StaffThe teachers are all fully qualified in TEFL working alongside the skilled and capable activities staff, all of whom are directly employed by Stonyhurst College, and who are committed to the education, health and well being of the students in their care.

Stonyhurst College is a co-educational day and boarding school set in 2,500 acres of Britain’s most beautiful countryside. Founded in 1593, the College has been welcoming and educating students from around the world for over 400 years. Under the expert guidance of Stonyhurst Language School’s committed staff, students will enjoy a happy and productive two weeks’ course in one of the most stunning and historic settings in England.

AccommodationAll the accommodation used by the Language School is of high quality and is in single or twin bedded rooms.

Student WelfareOn arrival each student is allocated to a tutor group which will meet regularly to allow the tutor to monitor progress and deal with any pastoral issues. The Head of Pastoral Care will oversee the groups and have overall responsibility for the welfare of the students, and will lead a team of houseparents who will be in charge of the accommodation areas.

HealthcareWe offer a daily surgery where a qualified nurse will be in attendance together with qualified first aiders on site. In addition we are within easy reach of two minor injury drop in centres, several hospitals, a local health centre and dentist.
