The summer language school of the Bede's educational center for teenagers has been taking place in Lancing College for several years. The Lansing School is one of the oldest and most prestigious secondary schools in Britain. This private school was opened as far back as 1848.
Every year during the holidays, we are happy to see children 13-17 years old to study Language and active pastime. In summer the school can take up to 230 students for study. In addition, in this institution the percentage of staff-pupil ratio is high enough (1: 5) to provide each child with the necessary amount of attention and support.
Bede's company has been organizing summer language courses for about 20 years. Annually such educational programs operate on the basis of several schools, which are considered the best in the southeast of England. Bede's summer programs are a carefully thought-out combination of English language lessons, sports, as well as creative and entertaining activities. Thanks to this, children increase not only their level of proficiency in a foreign language, but also the skills of social and interpersonal communication. Plus, all the guys get a powerful incentive to go beyond the familiar environment, while receiving constant support from teachers and their classmates.
What is the camper-to-staff ratio, and how are behavioral issues managed?
We maintain a low camper-to-staff ratio to ensure personalized attention and supervision. Our staff members are trained to handle behavioral issues with patience, understanding, and appropriate disciplinary measures when necessary.

- Age of students: 13-17 years old.

This English language educational program for teenagers includes 30 hours of classes per week (6 hours a day, Monday to Friday).

The main goal of the course is to stimulate the student to acquire new knowledge and increase his self-confidence, as well as to teach the children skills in intercultural interaction.
All students of the school are divided into academic groups depending on the level of the language. During the lessons, the children practice oral and written English skills, expand vocabulary and learn to interact in an international society. Classes are built on the interactive interaction of the teacher and students, and are directed to the permanent language practice through the creation of their own projects of different formats: writing songs, creating a site, watching and discussing the film and so on.
