The Teachers - We have a highly qualified and experienced team of full-time permanent teachers (all have postgraduate qualifications in teaching English). They will make sure that your lessons are relevant and interesting, and that you make good progress.
Accommodation: Our host family accommodation is excellent and we monitor it closely to ensure our high standards are met. All families are within walking distance of the College and will offer you your own room, all meals at weekends and half-board on weekdays. The family will be pleased to help you practise your English. We also encourage you to use English by not placing you with any other student who speaks your language. Alternatively, some students choose to stay in a local guesthouse or in self-catering accommodation.
Location: Broadstairs is the best of both worlds: a small, lively seaside town with quick and easy access to London and Europe. London is 1 ½ hours by train, and Paris is only 2 ¾ hours away by Eurostar. Broadstairs has grown from a picturesque fishing village linked with Charles Dickens, into a cultural centre close to cinemas, theatres, shopping and sports centres, pubs, bistros and music venues.
Faculty Information:
Our intensive English courses can last from two weeks to a whole year. All our courses offer the Hilderstone experience: excellent teaching, an intensive programme, activities and visits, plenty of opportunities to use your English, and the chance to make friends from around the world. All our classes are small (average 9 students, maximum 12) and are available at all levels from elementary to advanced. Adult students of all ages are welcome (minimum age 17).
Morning Classes - In the morning classes you will develop your use and understanding of English. Grammar and vocabulary are presented in a meaningful and enjoyable way, and the teaching programme is designed to improve all four language skills: Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking.
Afternoon Classes - Afternoon classes are different from the morning classes. They take place on 4 or 5 afternoons and provide the opportunity for you to develop and use your English as widely as possible. We will help you to choose from the variety of classes and activities which best suit your language ability and interests.
(The selection of classes offered changes from course to course.)
Other Activities:
Our social programme is varied and stimulating! All year round we offer a selection of afternoon and evening activities (e.g. folk dancing, karaoke, party nights) and full-day weekend excursions (London, Brighton, Cambridge etc) to enrich your stay.
