Work hard, play hard

Bubble football, excursions to London, cinema trips with friends, of course summer school is a lot of fun. However, with study options from Film to Business, with visiting speakers, and with challenges from speech making to football competitions, summer school is also an important opportunity to learn a lot.

Ambitious students

However, the design of our programme is not the only reason that you will learn a lot at More Than English. The other reason is the amazing students that we welcome to our school. When you live and learn with motivated, and ambitious friends who want to learn English as much as you do, you learn quickly.

Achievements

We’d like to stay congratulations to these students for their incredible achievements:

Congratulations to Diego from Brazil for getting a place at university to study Law!

 

 

Congratulations to Carolina from Mexico for getting a place at a prestigious high school in the United States.

 

Congratulations to Elsa on getting the highest grade possible in English at your school in Latvia this year.

You too!

And if you are looking at these examples of success thinking “that will never be me” – “I can’t do that”. Think again. What’s important at school and in life, isn’t where you are now. It’s where you are going to be. If you work hard, listen to advice from teachers and learn from your mistakes, you can reach your goals too.

As Diego said in one of his essays:

“Everyone can achieve a really high level of proficiency at something through effort.”

Your stories

Ex-students: let us know what you are doing at school or university this year. We’d love to hear your stories too!

 

“I have been to many summer schools and I can assure you that this one has the best mix of nationalities so far.”  Maria – Spain

Nationality mix

Young people learn English so that they can communicate with other people all around the world on holiday, at university, and in their future careers. For better immersion in English and for a richer cultural experience, at More Than English summer school, we  make sure that our nationality mix is fantastic.

Last summer, we welcomed students from 13 countries: Spain, Poland, Italy, Czech Republic, France, Lithuania, Croatia, Latvia, Ukraine, Thailand, Brazil, Mexico and the UK. Ready for 2017, we’re pleased to receive bookings from two more countries: Switzerland and Germany.

“One of the good things about MTE is the mix of nationalities – there are students from all over the world! I liked it a lot”  Nicola – Italy

 

This amazing nationality mix means a better summer school experience in every way.

• Students speak more English in the classroom.
• Students speak more English during activities and excursions.
• Students speak more English in the residences.
• Students speak more English all day long!

In fact, because we have so many nationalities at More Than English, students have to speak in English!

More Than English is designed for individuals, not groups. That means students do not travel with a Group Leader from their own country. Our students experience studying independently. When they need something, they do not ask an adult from their own country. Instead, they ask a More Than English staff member using English.  Being  ‘individuals’ also means that our students spend no time speaking in their own language with friends from their own town or school from back home.

“In my class I got to know 7 different nationalities. Without them, it wouldn’t have been the same, so I really want to thank all of them for making my classes more fun and more exciting.” Laura – Brazil

So what’s the disadvantage?

There is only one problem with the diversity of nationalities you will find at More Than English. We only accept a limited number of speakers of each language. That means, to guarantee a place, you need to book early!
