Coronavirus (COVID-19)

In light of recent events relating to Coronavirus (COVID-19), for the safety of our students, staff and host families we took the difficult decision to close our school on Friday 20th March 2020.

We will re-open as soon as it is safe and viable to do so.

We wish you all the best at this difficult time and trust that you, your family and friends stay safe and well.

It’s more about enjoying the countryside and the views. The food is healthier here too. Not only can you improve your English while here at the school, but you can also meet people from all over the world, which is really amazing! In terms of the school, it is amazing to be together with other people who have the same values and faith. The International Meal is a good memory for me. I loved seeing students from all different countries… Read More
Our host family are really nice. I want to take them back with me to Brazil! They take good care of us all the time. They really want to know how we are feeling or if we need anything. They are like our family here, not just in name. My host mum always wakes up early to give us a cup of tea and every night she comes up to give some chocolate. She’s like a real mum to us. Read More
My host mother is a very good person! I like fashion and she’s very fashionable, which impressed me! She’s very easy-going. She helps me with my English every day by speaking with me. I watch the TV with her every day, so it’s good listening and discussion practice. It’s a good time. Also, her cooking is really good! The house is also very clean and well-decorated. From the house to the school it only takes 5 to 10 minutes, which… Read More
My oral marks even doubled! (In our system 15 points are the best). Thanks to your work I got much more confident in speaking and writing English so that I finished school in July with a definitely good result in English without any problems. I felt so very welcomed and comfortable in your school. One can quickly notice that all of you apply so much love in what you do. Please keep on doing so for that many other students… Read More
