Course Description
Our summer English courses are designed to give students the opportunity to practise their English in a friendly, multicultural environment. Students are actively encouraged to practise their English with students from other nationalities, both in class and outside. We concentrate on raising their confidence and fluency, and bringing out the English they already know, but can’t yet use. At St Lawrence we operate a zig-zag programme where students can have activities in the morning and classes in the afternoon which then change the next week.
Location
St. Lawrence College is situated in Ramsgate, a historic seaside town on the southeast corner of England. Ramsgate has a picturesque harbour, some lovely Regency architecture and a sandy beach – perfect for enjoying the long summer days!
St Lawrence is in the area known as the Isle of Thanet, which includes several Blue Flag beaches and the seaside towns of Margate and Broadstairs. Thanet has been home to several artists and writers: Charles Dickens, the artist J.M.W Turner and Vincent Van Gogh taught French at a school in Ramsgate.
The cathedral town of Canterbury is a short journey away and London is just 70 minutes away.

Accommodations
You will probably be sharing a bedroom and bathroom with other students, unless you have specifically booked an en-suite or single room.
Your room-mates might be students from different countries, which is a great way to make new friends and have fun. If you have requested to share a room with friends or family, we will do our best to accommodate this if we are given enough notice. Bedrooms and bathrooms will be separated by gender and will be on different floors or areas of the building, and you may only visit your designated space.
Meals
All of your meals will be provided as part of your stay at the school: breakfast, lunch and dinner every day of your stay. During full day excursions, you will be provided with a packed lunch to take with you which will include a bottle of water. You may find the food at your school might be different to what you eat at home, but we serve a wide variety of dishes for all tastes and you’re sure to find something you like on the menu.
Meal times can vary slightly depending on the day and centre, however, they are usually served at the following times:
**Breakfast: **08:00—08:45 **Lunch: **12:30—13:15 **Dinner: **18:00—19:00
We can cater for most dietary needs and offer a vegetarian option every day. If you have any dietary requirements or allergies, please let us know as soon as possible so we can make arrangements for you.
