Gap year in England

English is the most widely used language in the world, and whatever the future has in store for you, speaking English will definitely give you an advantage when it comes to higher education and finding a job. One of the best ways to get to master English is to spend a gap year in England, speaking English all day, every day as part of your daily life. Yes, it's intense: it's a huge challenge, but it's honestly the most efficient way you'll achieve fluency in English. A gap year in England will boost not only your language skills, but your life experience in general as you adapt to a new culture, setting you up for a successful future, whatever your plans may be.

We pride ourselves on offering flexibility to all our students, so you'll find you can customize almost any aspect of your course to suit your ability, your goals and your personal preferences.
