time with EC was so memorable, we wish we

could stay longer. The leaders were really friendly. We

love that EC has fun things like parties, visits to the

Irene, Carmen, and Juan, 15, from Colombia

Learning English in Malta

chose Brighton because I had never been to

England. I learned and improved a lot, especially

my speaking skills. My favourite activity was

laser tag, because it was very exciting. I liked

the lessons and exercises we did in class. My

room is modern and clean; I like it a lot. I made

many friends and the social leaders are kind. I

will remember everything, especially the parties

and the city.

Chiara, 12, from Italy

Learning English in Brighton

was recommended to me by someone who

said it was a good school that offers English

classes as well as fun activities. One thing I

like about London is that it has something for

everyone, like museums, galleries, and shopping

centres. What I like most is that you study a

different topic each week. The best thing to do

on a Sunday afternoon is to explore the city with

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONSQ: I need to get in touch with my child urgently

what can I do?

A: Every Young Learner destination has its own

emergency number that can be found in the

information pack you will receive upon booking a

programme.

Q: In the case of homestay programmes, when will I

know more about my family?

A: Homestay profiles are sent out 2 weeks prior to

your arrival.

Q:What can I expect my child to learn?

A: Young Learner courses are well-rounded to give

your child the confidence and independence

to speak English themselves. We emphasize

speaking and listening as these skills are not often

practised back home, but also include relevant

cultural activities to enhance your learning

experience. We create an interactive learning

environment that merges academic language

learning with real-world practise.

Q: How much pocket money should I give my child?

A: The programmes are all inclusive and therefore

all meals, accommodation, tuition and activities

(including entrance fees) are covered. Pocket

money is advisable for extra beverages, shopping

and extra activities. This is not obligatory and

purely up to the student, at the discretion.

The average Young Learner is generally given

approximately £42/$55/CAD72 per week.

Q:How do students spend their time at the weekend

or during their freetime?

A: Classic: We offer a standard activity programme of

5 half-day activities, 4 evening activities, and 1 full

day activity per week so that free time is limited

while offering students a chance to relax and

mingle with their new friends.

Summer Camp: We offer a standard activity

programme of 5 half-day activities, 5 evening

activities and 2 full day activities per week. Thus

24-hr supervision is provided.

Freestyle: We offer a standard activity programme

of 3 half-day activities, 3 evening activities and 1

full day activity per week, allowing our more mature

Young Learners a more independent stay.

A typical Young Learner weekend or free morning/

evening involves a healthy blend of self-study,

relaxation, and exciting activities to allow students

to explore their destination alongside their friends.

Q: Is there a curfew in place for my child?

A: Curfews are dependent on age, with strict rules

in place on each programme to ensure that our

students are well-rested and ready to get the

most out of their day filled with fun lessons and

activities. EC leaders are on hand to ensure that

the rules are respected every night, and safety is a

constant priority.

Q:How many students is one EC social leader

responsible for?

A: We assign one EC leader per 15 students on our

Classic and Freestyle programme, and 1 EC leader

per 10 students on our Summer Camp programme

to make sure each Young Learner gets the

supervision they need.

We look forward to welcoming your kids to our Young Learner

Programmes!
