What the students thought

  • This trip was one of my unimaginably most beautiful summer experiences ever. Everyone there is so open and incredibly nice. The teachers are so nice too. I personally had the absolute dream family. I was able to speak so fluently with them and my time there really pushed my English. The school also helped a lot. The lessons were very individual and adapted to the level of the students. As a result, I can say: I am better in English, more self-confident and more independent. So I can really recommend this trip to EVERYONE.

  • I liked it very much on Jersey, the island is beautiful. St Brelade’s College is a friendly school with small classes. I quickly got to know everyone at the school through the social events. The teachers and staff were always very helpful. I chose to stay with a host family and it was the perfect stay. It will not be the last visit.

  • Our daughter had an wonderful time with you. We really appreciated the organisation, the learning and especially the program after school. The host family was so warm, open and accommodating and the place was amazing. It was the first time our daughter went abroad on her own, and we were very happy with how it went. Thank you very much.

  • Jersey is such a beautiful island. I studied on the 50+ programme for two weeks at the St Brelade’s College. I really enjoyed the course and the school excursions too. I thought the teachers were excellent. I also made some friends and we’ve been contacting each other by email. I would like to study at this school again if I have the chance.

  • Jersey means more than an ordinary English course, it is an excellent combination between classes and sports in a beautiful island. As they say, it is a hidden gem; you get the fun you expect from a holiday abroad and the experience from being on your own, learning from the host family and your fellow students.

  • I enjoyed every single minute in Jersey. I spent eight weeks studying at St Brelade’s College. And in the blink of an eye, I felt at home because both teachers and staff were welcoming. I learned a lot and gained more confidence in expressing my thoughts. Hopefully, I’ll come again next summer.
