Summer Explorer (Young Learner Programme for 11-17 years old)

Descrizione del corso

The RMS School was founded in 1788 and moved twice within London until it finally settled in the magnificent grounds of Rickmansworth Park, Hertfordshire, in 1934. The school was purpose built on its site, making the most of its generous land. The building includes a Great Hall and decorated Dining Hall as well as modern Sports facilities. Within easy reach of London Heathrow Airport and access to Central London by Tube, this is the perfect location for our Summer Explorer.

The course is offered for different levels. On arrival, students are tested to make sure they are placed in a group that suits their ability. The minimum level is beginners (A1) and the age range is 11 to 17.

Our popular English Explorer programme offers a holistic language experience which is immersive, flexible and lots of fun.

Project-based English lessons - 30 hours per two week course

English lessons include projects which are designed around the school’s weekly theme. Small groups of students work together on their projects focusing on each child’s language knowledge and skills development. Students booked for 2 weeks starting 6 & 20 July and 3 August also have the opportunity to demonstrate their language skills by preparing for and taking the Trinity College London Speaking exam (GESE).

Students are offered a choice of nutritious food at each mealtime; breakfast, lunch and dinner. Every menu includes a selection of hot and cold items including fresh fruit and vegetables. Packed lunches are provided on study tours.

Snacks are available during break times and at each evening house meeting. If your child has a dietary requirement associated to an allergy, please let us know so we can accommodate this.

Accommodation blocks are separate for boys and girls. At Bell The Leys, there are single, twin and dormitory rooms available, including beds, wardrobe, chest of drawers and chairs. Where possible, we mix nationalities in bedrooms, so students are encouraged to practise their English and learn more about another culture.

Access to bathrooms are also separate for boys and girls, as well as for junior and senior courses. There are shared showers and toilet facilities, which are situated at strategic points throughout the accommodation.

Bedrooms and bathrooms are cleaned regularly, with fresh bed linen provided weekly. Students are responsible for making sure their room is tidy and will have regular room inspections. There is a free laundry service for machine washable clothes once a week.

Please note: towels and hair dryers are not provided.
