Lessons take place in the mornings with professional native speaker teachers. The course covers the main language skills: speaking, reading, writing, listening, grammar and vocabulary. The main difference is that the course is combined with a social skill.

Description

We offer a meet and greet service to and from London Heathrow (other airports on request). From the moment of arrival until departure. The school offers an intensive academic programme for English at Queenswood. The programme accepts all levels from complete Beginner to Advanced. There are 3 age groups at Queenswood: Teens (10-
12), Juniors (13-15) and Seniors (16 to 18). 

The school wants to offer its students the summer of their lives: learn or improve English, make friends from all over the world, visit amazing places, have exciting and fun activities. This is why we offer a theme-based programme: our three areas (academic, activities and excursions) focus on one theme. Every week offers a new theme. The students can practise in the evening and on excursions what they have learned during the lessons. 

Study and live on the same campus. Children are housed on campus in twin, triple and quadruple rooms. There are classrooms, a dining hall and laundry facilities a couple of metres away. Meals are provided three times a day.
