It is often said, “The best way to learn a language is to go where it is spoken.” At International House, we know this is true. Therefore we feel it is important for our students to not only study English in the classroom, but to go outside the class to practice and experience English as it is used in real life.

Activity Program English ClassesIn addition to the excursion program, there is an action-
packed schedule of sports, activities and arts and crafts,
with something to suit every interest.
On a typical day, a student will have English classes from 9
am - 12 pm and afterwards they will participate in on-site
activities and/or off-campus excursions led by our Group
and Activity Leaders.
