They are totally integrated into the school system and take classes in three to four subjects. In England, students at this level, normally take between 3 or 4 subjects that they study in depth. Students are required to attend all the lessons they are timetabled for and it is their responsibility to ensure that they arrive on time and complete all homework assignments within the required time. They must take the same exams as their English classmates. It is essential that the students are motivated and willing to put in the time required to fully maximise this opportunity. A good level of English is required to be able to follow the classes at this level. Depending on the school, the students may be required to wear a uniform. When lessons are not taking place, the host family assists the student in organising their free time, which is spent discovering the town and area, and meeting up with their English school friends. This will present many opportunities for the student to put into practice their increasing knowledge of everyday situational written and spoken English. This programme is recommended for students who are independent and motivated, as well as already possessing a certain fluency in English.
SUPERVISION Our Local Organiser will be available to the students should they require any assistance.
