Summer Schools Information Arrivals and Departures: A Key Educational Travel Representative will meet
Airport and Dock arrivals on request. Transfers for groups and individuals
can be arranged at time of booking. Programme
and Course: A Course Plan will be sent to the Group Leader or
individual one-month prior to arrival. Should a late booking be accepted, the
programme will be presented on the day of arrival. Each Course has a Course Director / Leisure Time
Teacher who will arrange a varied programme of sports. These include
Swimming, Football, Volleyball, Basketball, Tennis and a wider variety of
other sports depending on the facilities available at each centre. Other
afternoon activities include Treasure Hunts, Competitions and Local Visits.
Evening activities often include Talent Contests, Fancy Dress, Video Evenings
and International Evenings. Discos are arranged once a week. Excursions: Excursions take place on one full day and one half
day per week. The destination is dependent on the location of the centre. All
excursions are fully supervised by our staff and students will be issued with
an identification card bearing telephone numbers and addresses in case they
become lost. Additional activities and excursions can be arranged with
payment made during the course. Accommodation: Residential students will be accommodated at the
centre in double, triple or multi-bedded rooms. Some of our centres have
dormitory accommodation, but are divided into cubicles. This enables the
student to share in a community experience while still offering a degree of
privacy. Boys and girls are separated each having their own showers and
bathroom facilities. Homestay students are placed with carefully selected
families but have access to all residential facilities during the course. Lessons: All
students will take a placement test so that the student can be placed in the
appropriate study group. The maximum number of students in a class is 15. The
English Language tuition consists of twenty lessons per week. The emphasis of
the lessons is on developing oral skills and students will be encouraged to
participate in debates and role-playing. A wide variety of teaching material
will be provided and used to extend and reinforce vocabulary and grammar. All
students will be assessed and presented with a certificate at the end of the
course. Staff: Supporting
our Course Director will be an experienced team of teachers and sports staff
who will ensure not only the student's enjoyment and academic progress but
attend to welfare needs and safety. A Key Educational Travel inspector will
visit each centre during the course to ensure the smooth running of the
course. Meals: Every
effort is made to ensure a wide variety of popular meals. We strive to supply
a good balance between British and international dishes. A
continental breakfast is usually served with the opportunity to sample a
cooked breakfast. Fresh fruit and vegetables are always available to ensure a
balanced diet. Tuck
shops are available and may vary from centre to centre. Packed lunches are
supplied on full day excursions. |
