Our 50+ English programme is designed to appeal to mature students who want to enjoy what Jersey has to offer in the company of people of a similar age.
Our morning lessons aim to strengthen your understanding of English and improve confidence & fluency. You will work on all the fundamental language skills during lessons, with a focus on communication.
With its stunning scenery and easy-going lifestyle, Jersey is well-suited to the mature student and our social programme embraces this. Social evenings also allow you to get to know each other in a relaxed environment.
* Classes may include students on other programmes, however the majority of the students in the class are aged 50 years or over.
Please note: If we are required to cancel an activity or excursion due to bad weather or another unavoidable reason, it will be replaced with another typical activity from our programme.
