New English Plus programmes in 2025

September 26th, 2024

Not only will we be continuing with our usual popular junior and adult English courses in 2025, but we will be adding some extra, due to popular demand. For juniors, we’ll be adding an English & surfing programme and for adults, we’ll be introducing different themes of 50+ courses and an English & walking course. By creating these niche programmes students can find the right course for them.

English student in a lesson

Adult students will also have more courses to choose from in 2025.

Our 50+ programme has now been running for over 15 years and in this time we’ve built up a successful programme of English and activities suited to this age group. So much so, that we’ve decided to extend it further, introducing new dates and more specific themes for activities.

Students will participate in morning lessons and have four afternoon excursions on all 50+ courses. The themes focus on food, flora & fauna, Jersey discovery and culture and two excursions per week will follow these themes and will be specifically for the 50+ students. The other 2 excursions will either be a cultural visit or walk with other adult students at the school during that time.

Despite being a small island, the landscape is diverse and through our afternoon activity programme, adult students have a chance to explore this. With a a wealth of sights, walks, gardens and cultural attractions, such as castles and historic sights, Jersey is an appealing destination for this age group.

In 2025, we will be introducing English & walking courses in the spring & autumn so that keen walkers can explore even more of the island’s outdoor beauty during their two week stay. 

English students surfing

Surfing has always played a prominent part in our junior summer programme, but in 2025, we will be going a step further by introducing an English & surfing course.

St Ouen’s bay on Jersey’s Atlantic coast is a 3 mile long stretch that is ideal for surfing. The unique sand banks make it ideal for surfing beginners but more experienced surfers can also benefit from the larger swells. Our English & surfing course is designed for surfing beginners and improvers for this reason.

Students between the ages of 12 and 17 years, will study English every morning, then after lunch will have the chance to hit the waves on four afternoons. The week long course will help them to improve their skills and confidence in both English and surfing.
