Activities Offered
Located in the center of historic Ramsgate, Ramsgate Homestay enables students to completely immerse themselves in English, in a supportive and nurturing setting. Students have numerous opportunities to practice and improve their English speaking skills both during formal class and in extracurricular activities, with other young people from around the world.
Courses have five levels, from elementary through advanced. Students are tested and placed at an appropriate level at the start of the session. All classes are focused on increasing student confidence and comfort with everyday usage of the English language.
Students have 15 hours of in-class instruction each week, including project work and classes on British history and culture. Each week is filled with fun extracurricular activities as well. In addition to excursions into central London, the program includes five activities in the afternoon and seven in the evening. There are half-day and full-day excursions to nearby cities and towns.
Food and Accommodation
Students live full time with their host families, eating meals together seven days a week to allow for maximum engagement. Students attend campus activities four evenings a week and stay home with the family the other three nights. The experience allows students to fully immerse themselves in everyday conversation.
Students in the Ramsgate Homestay program house students regularly and are very familiar with how to help them feel comfortable. Most accommodation is within a 20 minute walk of the school, and junior students will be accompanied by staff during the walk home.
Campus facilities
Churchill House School is situated in a residential neighborhood in a beautiful square. The harbor and public tennis courts are just outside, and the town center is less than 10 minutes away by foot.
