General English courses

Morning English lessons and a choice of exciting activities or English lessons in the afternoons

Our general English courses are designed to supplement the English learnt by students at their own schools. They consolidate students’ knowledge of grammar and allow them to practise speaking English.

Morning lessons are followed by either afternoon lessons or activities, depending on the course chosen.

Activities make the most of what Jersey has to offer and provide an opportunity for children to experience a range of activities, such as water sports, cultural visits, beach visits & indoor sports.

You can feel comfortable for your child’s safety on the welcoming island of Jersey.
