WHO IS IT FOR?
COURSE OBJECTIVES
ACCOMMODATION
The CEC Family Language Stay programme allows all members of a family to attend and enjoy our language programmes. Kids have a great opportunity to meet with young learners from other countries and experience other cultures whilst learning English, and their parents have the freedom to take a course at our adult college, knowing that their child is looked after and enjoying themselves.
For parents with younger children, there is the possibility for the parents to share an intensive language course with one parent taking a course in the mornings and the other taking a course in the afternoons. This allows one parent free to look after the children under 11.
*At least one parent must attend our General English, Business English, Teacher Training or Exam Preparation Courses and juniors may attend the following programmes:
- English plus Multi-activity
- English plus Golf
- English plus Horse-Riding
- English plus Rugby
- English plus Football
- English plus STEAM
Children aged between 4 – 11 years will be placed in our Activity Camp in groups according to age. Each group is under the care of a dedicated group leader. The groups participate in up to 8 activities per day. Each day is always different, but the focus is always fun, safety and entertainment.
Minimum 2 week booking.
