Participating in Taunton English Summer School

This summer, we are organizing a group for your children aged 8-17 to a language school in the United Kingdom for two weeks (July-August). Our group is Russian-speaking and accompanied directly from Israel, while other participants from different countries join in England. The majority of other groups in the school are non-Russian speakers. We will be staying and studying on the premises of a private boarding school. Safety measures in English schools are high, in accordance with British legislation.

The program includes 40 hours of English language lessons taught by excellent English school teachers. During the second part of the day, children engage in elective activities such as film-making, robotics, programming, anime drawing, and more. The third part of the day involves standard activities in the English campus, including sports and games.
Throughout the trip, there will be 2-3 full-day excursions (to London, Bath, Bristol) and 4 half-day trips to nearby towns. If there is energy and desire, we will provide additional opportunities for children to enjoy entertainment and shopping.
We have been accompanying children on such trips since 2009, and this year's program is one of the best.
