Our courses
English with Walking
Our English course combines morning language lessons with afternoon hikes along Cornwall’s stunning coastline. We will set out to explore the landscapes made famous by Rosamunde Pilcher, Poldark and Raynor Winn. As experienced guides and hikers, we know the best routes and hidden gems, leading walks at a comfortable pace that allows you to fully take in the beautiful Cornish surroundings.
English with Water Sports
After your morning English classes, you’ll head down to the coast for an afternoon of exciting water sports. You’ll have the chance to explore hidden caves on a calm day, visit seal colonies, or even catch your first wave! Our expert instructors will ensure you receive personal attention, whether you’re learning the basics of surfing, improving your paddling technique, or getting more comfortable on the board.
English with Art and Culture
During the morning, you’ll improve your language skills, while afternoons are for exploring Cornwall’s rich culture and history. Each afternoon, we’ll take you on a journey, tailored to the weather, the season, and what the group is most interested in. Whether it’s visiting historic landmarks, exploring local art galleries, or discovering hidden spots that most tourists miss, you’ll be practicing English in the real world.
