Interesting and fun English courses for children in the safe environment of Jersey

Our English courses for juniors are based on our own syllabus which has been developed to encourage communication through interesting and fun activities. We also provide a full range of afternoon & evening activities, keeping students engaged with other international students of a similar age.

On the island of Jersey, students have the opportunity to take part in exciting activities they may not be able to experience at home, such as surfing, banana rides, RIB tour or kayaking, thereby ensuring they have a memorable stay on the welcoming island of Jersey.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Which course is the most suitable?

The holiday and English & surfing courses include activities every afternoon, while the semi intensive course includes English lessons on two afternoons and activities on three. We therefore recommend the semi intensive course for more academic students. For older teenagers who are really motivated to learn the adult intensive course is also an option. Lessons take place every morning and on four afternoons. This course is available for students aged 16+ years.

Where are classes held?

Outside of summer, all junior and adult courses are held at St Brelade’s College in St Aubin.

In the summer, all students on the holiday course (12-16 years) and English & surfing course study at Highlands College (a local college of further education), close to St Helier. Older teenagers on the semi intensive or adult intensive courses (16 & 17 years), along with adults, study at St Brelade’s College.

What activities are there during the evening and weekend?

During peak weeks in the summer, up to 3 optional evening optional evening activities are offered for students aged 13 and over, plus a Sunday afternoon meeting on the beach. Pre-teens (12 years) can also participate in weekend beach games during the summer, as well as a BBQ. Outside of summer there is a weekly evening BBQ for all juniors. These are all supervised by St Brelade’s College staff.

What are the arrangements for families at St Brelade′s College?

Jersey is an ideal destination for families and we have designed our programmes to take families into account.

During the summer, parents with teenagers on semi intensive and intensive courses (16 & 17 years) all come to our main school in St Aubin.

Pre-teens (12 years) study at Highlands College in the summer, and a private minibus can bring them to St Brelade’s College in St Aubin to meet parents at the end of the school day. Teenagers (13 – 16 years) at Highlands College, who are staying in homestay are provided with a free public bus pass (if not within walking distance) so they can travel independently to meet parents.

Outside of summer, all students study together at the main school.

At our adult student residence, a number of twin rooms are available for single parents sharing with one child and there is the option to add a temporary bed to our superior inland room for couples with a younger child (under 14 years).
