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.

Trips out of London are included in the price, but students will be expected to purchase their own travelcards for transport within London. Accomodation is not included.
If you would like to book a summer course you will need to consider whether you want to arrange your own accommodation, or whether you would like us to make a booking on your behalf. Please complete a copy of the online application form and send this to us either by email, fax or letter together with your payment. See section on How to make a payment for details.
Accommodation:
London is a popular city, especially in the Summer, and whether you have decided to book your own accommodation or would prefer us to arrange this for you, we strongly recommend that bookings are made well in advance to ensure availability.
South Chelsea College is able to offer a choice of three different options:
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.
SCC 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.
Choose from:
- Bed & Continental Breakfast (BB basis)
- Breakfast & Dinner (HB basis)
RATES PER PERSON PER WEEK (valid until 31 December 2007)
(BB = Room and breakfast - HB = Room, breakfast and dinner)

Hostel
If you don’t mind sharing and are looking for a Central London location then the lively environment of a hostel might be the right choice for you. Most hostels have their own bar, internet café, TV room and kitchen, with reception often open 24 hours a day! Prices start at £105 per week (averaging £120). Please contact the College if you require SCC to book this type of accommodation on your behalf and we will check availability for you.
Self Catering Accommodation
Self-catering accommodation can be arranged at a cost of £135 per week for a single room or £115 per week sharing (friends only). Most rooms available on a self-catering basis are in family houses although occasionally rooms are available in shared houses or flats.
How to Book Accommodation
If you would like to book accommodation through SCC you must send a payment to cover two weeks accommodation plus £5 summer supplement, together with a £15 non-refundable booking fee plus any bank charges, at least 6 weeks prior to the start of your course.
Students who want to book accommodation less than 6 weeks before their classes are due to begin, or who want SCC to book hostel accommodation on their behalf, should contact the College before making any payment, to check availability. Students who arrange their own accommodation will not be charged a booking fee.
