St Brelade's College

An independent English language school providing a consistent standard of teaching in line with modern methodologies

St Brelade’s College is the only British Council accredited English school in the Channel Islands, offering courses to adults & juniors. Our principles remain the same today as in 1978 when the school was founded; to provide relevant and motivating English lessons as part of a comprehensive learning package.

Our permanent English school occupies a charming 19th century granite building a short walk from the picturesque harbour village of St Aubin & beach. The school is positioned amongst lush woodland, ideal for quiet and focused study.

As well as this, we also run a further study centre for juniors at Highlands College during the summer. This is a purpose built, further education college with the latest technology, close to the main town of St Helier.

TEACHING METHODS

Our structured syllabus with a focus on communication has been devised in order to bridge the gap between what students learn in the classroom and what’s outside the door. We use up-to-date course books enhanced by stimulating activities and authentic media. Participation and interaction are encouraged in multilingual classes, to help students gain confidence academically and socially.

We promote continual learning for our teachers, through internal workshops, appraisals and training courses so that their teaching styles and skills are in line with modern practice.
