Open Groups Explained

We have been running courses for young people since 1978 and over the years have built up an expertise in providing intensive language courses to suit all ages and abilities. Our open group programmes are designed for groups made up of mixed ages, abilities and requirements. As part of an open group students can chose from our range of individual programmes and will share classes with students of other nationalities in the school at the same time, whilst being able to enjoy group discounts.

We are open all year round so our teachers are highly experienced in working with young people. Many have also had experience of the State sector in Britain and abroad. They are highly qualified, attend regular training to update their skills and are committed to the education of young people.

We work with International schools, Bilingual schools, Vocational schools, Language schools, Special schools for students with learning difficulties as well as countless ordinary Primary and Secondary schools, Colleges and Universities from around the world.

We take pride in our understanding of how students learn and how to motivate and encourage them to make the most of their stay in England. Please have a look at what we can offer your students:
