Junior College Programme

The Junior College Programme is for EFL learners who wish to improve their English, while following a traditional programme of academic subjects.

Alongside their English language classes, students will attend Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) classes for their traditional academic subjects, like Geography, Maths and History. The intention of these classes is to provide additional EFL support within subjects that require more challenging forms of language use.

The Programme combines intensive EFL tuition and academic study for entry to Prep School or Senior School (11+ entry). Daily sports and activities, together with a full weekend schedule ensures students are fully prepared for boarding school life.
