Parent & Child Programme
NEW for summer 2008 is our Parent & Child Programme, which allows parents two options if they wish to accompany their child to one of our centres.
Option A: Attend English classes
We can provide English classes at a range of different levels and designed specifically for adults during the same times the younger students have their lessons in the mornings.
Option B: Free time
For parents who would rather be free to relax and enjoy the beautiful countryside around our centres knowing their children are in a safe environment and are enjoying themselves, we can provide suggestions of places to visit or activities to try. Some of the facilities at our centres such as canoeing or horse riding may of interest, or parents may like to hire a car and explore the surrounding area. Parents can choose to eat with their children in the evenings, or again leave them to make new friends while practising their own English with other parents or some of our staff. Attendance on the full day excursions to cities such as Manchester and Liverpool (the European City of Culture for 2008) are also options for parents.
