With five teaching levels, from elementary to advanced, we assess every student at the start of each course, assign them to a small class of students with a similar proficiency in English, continuously monitor their progress and tailor our teaching accordingly. Students learn new grammar and vocabulary and have the opportunity to practice these in reading exercises, written work, and through listening and speaking practice. Our range of teaching methods includes group work, role play, games, surveys, presentations, quizzes, interviews, talks and workshops, as well as educational excursions. Stonyhurst directly employs all the summer school staff. We are fully committed to the enjoyment, education and well-being of every student in our care. All our teachers are qualified to teach English as a second language and they work hand in hand with our skilled and capable activities staff to give the children a fun and meaningful learning holiday.
