The school occupies a three-storey Victorian building in a residential area surrounded by gardens, palm trees and terraces. The town centre is a five-minute walk away.
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. There are evening activities on the grounds, including games, parties, a cinema and a barbecue every day.
