Cornwall
The
school's programme of activities and excursions is carefully
chosen to give a balance of sightseeing, cultural visits,
sports and social events. The school offers a wide range
of supervised activities, many designed to encourage further
English practice, in the afternoons, evenings and at weekends.
Some are organised by the school, others are organised
by friendly and experienced tour-guides. Some activities
will be free - for example the welcome evening and weekly
football.

During
the high season, there is a programme of activities and
excursions offered to adult students - all are optional
and you only pay if you choose to take part.
During
the low season, although there isn't a full programme
offered, there is at least one full day excursion per
week. Half-day trips, afternoon/evening activities are
also offered frequently. Football is played most Sundays
during the year. We also have a pub lunch with adult students
on many Friday lunchtimes during the low season. Activities
can also be arranged on request.
Attending
a language course with us is a really good social experience,
and you will make life-long friends from around the world.
