Summer Course in English Language

See London and learn to talk about it!

Welcome to South Chelsea College and our Summer English School for June, July & August. Our programme combines stimulating and effective language practice together with language learning activities in and around London. The College is situated in a trendy central London location, ideally connected to rail, bus and underground links. Language tuition includes a special focus on verbal skills and pronunciation.

SCC offers a warm and friendly environment. We encourage students to practice their English outside the classroom, and our location places all the tourist attractions of central London within easy reach.

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.
