In between the classes there is a social break. You can have a snack, chat to your new friends or play a round of Nintendo Wii in our comfortable lounge. You’ll be relaxed and start your next class refreshed and ready to learn. Daily classes finish about lunchtime.
After school, you are encouraged to join in the school’s social activities. It is the perfect way to make great new friends and practice your English!
