What is different about this Summer English Programme?
At South Chelsea College we have developed a programme which is unique. Whereas most other Colleges offer language tuition and cultural trips, at SCC we offer a blend of both, interweaving language tuition with visits to places of historical interest and tourist attractions. Each trip has a language theme and a set of tasks which have been specially created for it. For details see below.

London is a popular city, especially in the Summer. We strongly recommend that bookings are made well in advance to ensure availability.
South Chelsea College does not arrange accommodation directly, but can refer you to a student services accommodation agency which could offer you the following types of accommodation.
Homestay
Students are placed with a family where they will have the opportunity of speaking English beyond the classroom setting and can enjoy the experience of being part of a British home.
Our student services agency, Britannia Travel, uses families who have been selected for their friendliness and their homes must meet British Council (English UK) standards. Hosts will provide meals as booked and rooms (including bed linen) will be cleaned on a weekly basis.
