The school's excellent location and its full immersion programme provide a great opportunity to study English. Our programme concept is “Immersion in English at all times.” Lessons are highly intensive. Each student has 32 lessons (45 minutes each) a week. Our Academic Programme: LEARNING & ACQUIRING In the morning (Learning) we teach English through EFL (English as a Foreign Language) lessons based on small groups of 7 students from the same age and same level (max. 10). And in the afternoon (Acquiring), we teach skills in English, again in small groups of 7 students (max 10) from the same age and same level. So two different approaches which combine very well and allow our students to LEARN English and ACQUIRE skills in English! LINES Queenswood has facilities that include a computer room with free internet access, study materials, a student lounge and amazing sport facilities.
Our St. Margaret's language school campus is located in a very secure area of London, which is highly regarded by both parents and students alike. The nearby district of London Hampstead has a very good reputation and St. Margaret's itself is one of the UK's leading boarding schools. When visiting the college, students will not only be learning the English language as part of the course, but they will also be experiencing it first hand within one of its places of origin, which will provide them with many cultural as well as social insights into the London way of life. Available activities are sports, cinema, picnic, barbecue, bowling, sightseeing, museums, karaoke, international student parties and many more activities.
