Accommodation
Students have the choice of staying with an English host family, in a self-catering furnished room/flat/house, lodging house or hotel. The host family will provide half-board accommodation and a chance for the students to practise their English and to participate in English family life. Naturally, if you so prefer you can make your own arrangements.
Facilities
The Plymouth English Centre, which is open all year, is conveniently situated close to the City Centre. There are parking facilities near the school, and many other facilities such as banking, post office, shops etc. in the vicinity. The classrooms are well-equipped with modern audio-visual equipment which is used as an integral part of the structured learning programme. All the teachers are qualified T.E.F.L. teachers, with several years' teaching experience behind them. Students of all ages are accepted, and are given a test on arrival so that they can be placed in a suitable group. A progress report is also given at the end of each course.
Social & Leisure Activities
From June to September social and leisure activities are arranged on every afternoon and/or evening from Monday to Friday and day long excursions take place on Saturdays. From September to June the number of activities and their cost will depend on the number of students participating. These activities include excursions in Devon and to the neighbouring counties, sports activities, theatre visits, night clubs, cinemas, discos etc. For the more athletic there is a wide range of outdoor and indoor activities available: sailing, canoeing, windsurfing, climbing, horse riding, swimming, bodybuilding, just to mention a few. Further details on all activities are available on request.
The City of Plymouth
Plymouth, one of the largest cities in the unspoilt South-West, is situated on the Devon and Cornwall border. It is an ancient maritime city with numerous parks, markets, theatres and cinemas, an excellent pedestrianised shopping centre and many buildings of historical interest. The Dartmoor National Park is only 20 minutes away; the coast is full of beaches and scenery of great beauty.
Travel & Insurance (Health)
Plymouth is easily accessible from London, with frequent coach, train and air service. There are ferries running directly from Roscoff in France and Santander in Spain. When so required, the school will arrange transport from and to the port, airport, coach or railway station the student arrives at.
The services of a local G.P. (doctor) and dentist are available to our students. In case of accidents and illness students may receive free medical treatment from the National Health Service while in Britain, but they must check if any reciprocal agreement exists between their country and the United Kingdom. However, it is recommended that students take out personal insurance cover. The school provides a cover for activities arranged by the school.
