Studio Language and Activity Programmes
for Young Learners

Our English Language and Activities division has the responsibility to design and manage courses for young people, aged 10 - 20 years. Over the years, our courses have earned an international reputation for high academic standards, close supervision, personal care of participants, and fun - lots of fun.

Choice of Locations
There are many attractive cities and towns in Britain. We believe, however, that our programmes in Cambridge, Ely and Bishop's Stortford provide the ideal combination of exciting locations with safety and security.

Personal Care and Attention
Studio is privately owned. We are not part of a multi-centre group or "chain" of schools. 80% of our students come through the personal recommendation of past students or of Education Counsellors overseas (not from advertising or marketing campaigns)

Our main concern is for our students' safety and wellbeing. All Studio course centres are managed by a Course Director, Assistant Course Directors and a Welfare Officer. A team of teachers and administrative staff report to the Director and each student is given the individual care and attention he or she deserves.

All students are covered by a Travel / Medical insurance policy for the full duration of the course. There is a 24-hour, 7 days a week, telephone number for use in emergencies.

Studio is accredited by the British Council and is a founder member of English UK. We are also a member of the British government's "Education UK" initiative.

“Our most important responsibility is to ensure that we do what we say we will do. Every aspect of the student’s experience at Studio should be positive, educational and enjoyable and my colleagues and I are responsible for ensuring that is the case.”
Sharon Warner - Head of Accommodation

Sharon has been at Studio for over 10 years and is responsible for all student homestay accommodation and welfare issues. She ensures that you feel comfortable, happy and relaxed during your stay in the UK.

“We take great care in choosing the right accommodation for our students.

A friendly and comfortable home is essential to a successful course.”
