Parent & Child Courses

Year-round courses for children from the age of 3 upwards and their parents - unique to the SKOLA Group. Designed for families who wish to combine their vacation with a course for both themselves and for their children. Careful timing on the programmes allows parents to see their children depart on our door to door minibus service before going on to their own classes or escort their children themselves to and from school. It also allows parents to be back at home in time to meet their children on their return from school. Our adult and junior centres are within easy distance of each other.

Accommodation & Welfare Departments

We will assist you in finding a comfortable and convenient place to stay as well as assist in opening up a bank account, travel arrangements, and life in general in the UK.

Welfare

All members of the school staff play a role in student welfare. The head of each programme is the appointed person in charge of welfare. Teachers and administrative staff play a supporting role. In the case of accommodation a member of the administrative team liaises between the school and the Accommodation Agency.

Social Programme

The optional social programme allows students to discover everything London has to offer and offers a great choice between cultural trips to galleries and museums to big nights out at the most fashionable clubs & bars.Top
