Lessons take place in the morning and afternoon. After classes a hot lunch is served in the dining hall. The centre has a golf course, football fields and bicycle paths. The school grounds are decorated with symbols of English culture including a telephone box and a red double-decker bus. A number of excursions to different cities throughout the country are available including London Royal Gardens, Portland, Portsmouth, Salisbury, Milton Abbey Church Village, Winchester and the famous Stonehenge.
