Junior Programmes
At Wycliffe, we offer young learners the opportunity to combine the learning of English with sports and activities. The college has two independent sites, each of them with its own accommodation, learning and catering facilities, which allows us to split students into two groups according to their age. Younger students aged 8-11 years share the junior school, while students aged 12-16 years stay at the senior school. The schools are 10 minutes walk apart.
Family Programmes
We also run a family programme which provides the opportunity for parents and children to learn English at the same time. Parents are taught separately in adult classes in the mornings with their children following lessons with other young learners.
LTM Star Awards
British Study Centres has been shortlisted in the prestigious Language Travel Magazine Awards as one of the top 5 junior course providers! Please see the News section for more details.
