Our courses take place in the Pennington Building of Southport College near to the centre of town

On Arrival, all students are given a placement test to establish their level of English.There are normally 3 hours of English lessons each morning followed by activities or excursions in the afternoon. The lessons for each class are divided between two Teachers. A main teacher, who will teach the first and third lesson, and a second teacher who teaches lesson two.

We tend to concentrate on communicative English but all aspects of English learning are covered in order to maximise the learning potential of your stay in England.

On Saturday there is usually an All-day excursion to somewhere a little farther away such as Chester or Manchester.

We also organise one evening activity per week such as karaoke evenings or quiz nights.

Accommodation is with host families on a full-board basis. Lots of our host families have hosted for many years and we have many students who return year after year to stay with the same families. We only place one student of each nationality with a host family unless otherwise requested and we try to cater for any specific requests that a student may have such as a vegetarian diet etc. But the one thing we can promise is a warm welcome from all of our host families and staff.
