Courses For Groups
Every year, here at LTC Eastbourne, we welcome up to 100 groups from all over the world.
We can offer groups:
- The chance to study in an 18th century mansion near Eastbourne town centre
- Residential dormitory accommodation in the school building
- Carefully selected homestay within walking distance
- Full board with hot lunch at the school, Monday-Friday
- Qualified teaching staff
- Lessons based on the needs of the group
- 24-hour support for group leaders
- One free group leader per 10 or 15 students
During the summer most groups are integrated into our Summer School for Younger Students.
At other times, most are closed groups, though it may be possible to integrate older students into our General English course, depending on the number of students and the length of their stay.
Our closed group courses are designed according to the group’s needs and requirements.
Groups can choose:
- Residential or homestay accommodation
- Morning only classes or a more intensive course
- The topics and language skills covered in the lessons
- How long your group will stay
- How many activities per week
- Which local visits and excursions to go on
