London Experience Programme

This summer vacation course, offered at St Giles London Highgate, provides a structured programme of social and cultural activities in the morning, followed by a choice of 15 or 20 English lessons per week in the afternoon.

Christmas and New Year English Courses

St Giles Colleges in the UK provide a special course over the Christmas and New Year period each year.

The St Giles Christmas Course combines a 2-week General English course with the chance to experience a typical English or American Christmas with a host family. The course content is general and covers a mixture of grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. The emphasis is on practical communication and speaking skills. Special topics are also taught to allow students to make the most of their time in England over Christmas, e.g. shopping vocabulary and British customs.

We also run some special Christmas Social Programme activities such as a visit to a carol concert in a church, a trip to see a Christmas show at the theatre, going to see the 'Holiday on Ice' show etc. The cost of these activities is not included in the price - students just pay for those activities in which they wish to participate.
