Junior Programmе Summary

The Erin School of English Junior Programme is a complete educational programme specifically designed for teenagers during the summer months.
It combines morning English classes with afternoon activities and excursions. All students stay with a host family only a short bus journey away from the school. Arrangements can also be made for full board or self-catering residencies if preferred.

English Class

Students study General English for 15 hours every week. The classes are 3 hours in duration from 9:00 to 12:15 Monday to Friday. We use the online Cambridge English Placement Test prior to arrival followed by a speaking test on the students’ first day to place them at the correct level. This is a highly respected and accurate placement test which tests students’ reading, listening, and linguistic ability. Access to the online test will be arranged subsequent to booking.

Activities

The Junior summer programme includes a wide range of extracurricular activities. Each week students will enjoy an entertainment activity and a full-day trip during the weekend. (See schedule for full details)
