SATURDAY ACTIVITIES as part of the EAT
The learning of English continues through sports, cultural excursions and fun activities. These provide essential opportunities to relax, practise the language in a more informal setting and develop social skills by getting to know students from other parts of the world. Activities take place in specialist sports clubs, parks, and further afield with trips organised to places of interest such as central London, Windsor, Oxford or Brighton.
PERSONALISED SPORTS, MUSIC, OTHER HOBBIES as part of the EAT
We believe talent should be nurtured. We pride ourselves in catering for each student's special interest, be it sport, music, drama, dance or art. Through LISC you have an opportunity to meet young people who share your interests. You can take part in your chosen sport or hobby even at the highest level. Let us know if you have a passion!
