London

This programme is specifically aimed at teens between ages 13 and 17 who want to improve their English while discovering the beautiful British capital. The campus is in the middle of the hip and vibrant Bloomsbury area, just around the corner from the British Museum, Oxford Street and Covent Garden. Between cultural visits to the most important city landmarks (Westminster, Tower Bridge, Oxford Street, The London Eye & Madame Tussauds) along with creative activities or a range of sports, this programme is an absolute must for anyone wishing to discover London in a safe and secure environment.

Classes take place at the illustrious London University College in the vibrant Bloomsbury district.
