EASONS TO CHOOSE A LISA! STUDY ABROAD FOR SCHOOL STUDENTS PROGRAMME IN ARDINGLY:

Traditional British independent school:
Next to the school is a large lake where students can enjoy sailing, swimming, windsurfing and kayaking. The school has modern facilities, including numerous tennis courts, a large heated swimming pool, a football pitch and a sports hall. -
International course participants:
LISA! Language Courses abroad guarantees international classes. Our students come from many parts of the world because, unlike many other providers, we have our own advisory offices in several countries, including Italy, Spain and Scandinavia. This creates a truly international mix of students in our classes. - Accommodation:
Your son or daughter will stay in a residence on campus, in accommodation units with single, twin or shared rooms. Each unit has a communal lounge where students can chat with their new friends and relax. Our students receive full board. Packed lunches are provided on excursions.
Study Abroad for school students in Ardingly, UK:
Supervision during the language trip:
All our Study Abroad for school students programmes are supervised language trips. Supervision is provided by trained group leaders and teachers. There are certain times, for example on the way to school, when your children are expected to be independent and are not supervised. We will be happy to discuss all the details with you.
English lessons in Ardingly
English lessons in Ardingly are designed for children and teenagers aged 10 to 17. Classes are organised according to age and language level, ensuring that students learn alongside others of a similar standard. Friends or siblings travelling together can usually be taught in the same class. Lessons take place in the morning.
The teaching method on our language trips
Lessons are taught using the direct method, enabling students to understand their teachers, all of whom are native British English speakers, right from the start. All teachers hold a recognised qualification in teaching English as a foreign language, creating a learning environment that is very different from traditional classroom teaching.
The pace of learning
Progress is considerably faster than in lessons at home, with studies suggesting that learning can be up to 200 times faster.
Rapid progress in English
The main focus is on speaking English freely and confidently, supported by active listening practice and the ability to use the language effectively in everyday situations and examinations. Academically ambitious students receive targeted preparation for school-leaving examinations, particularly the German Abitur, with the stated aim of achieving top grades of up to 15 points.
Quality standards:
With over 30 years of experience, LISA! Language Courses abroad is one of the leading providers and organisers of Study Abroad for school students programmes. Our language school in Ardingly is accredited by the British Council and English UK.
Travel arrangements for the language trip:
We will be happy to book an affordable flight to London for your child. Return airport transfers from London Heathrow and London Gatwick are already included in the price.

Arrival should be on Sundays between 8.00 am and 7.00 pm, and departure on Saturdays between 8.00 am and 7.00 pm. Please note that transfers are shared, so waiting times may occur.

FAQ: Customer questions and answers
How far in advance should I book Ardingly for my child?
How much freedom will my child have?
All facilities on campus are within easy walking distance and the campus is easy to navigate. Your child will be occupied with lessons and leisure activities throughout the day. For children who would like more freedom to organise their own free time during their language holiday, we recommend our Study Abroad for school students in Malta or our English language courses for school students in Brighton, southern England. Both Study Abroad for school students programmes offer more freedom, with a lower level of supervision than at a boarding school.
How much does a Study Abroad for school students programme in Ardingly cost?
A 2-week language trip with 20 English lessons per week and full-board accommodation in the residence costs €2,849. The extensive leisure programme, airport transfers, language course and accommodation are all included in the price.
Is there a placement test at the beginning of the language trip?
Yes, a placement test takes place on the first day of school. Students are then assigned to the appropriate level.
When do I have to pay?
Upon conclusion of the contract (after receipt of the booking confirmation and insolvency protection certificate), a deposit of 20% of the total travel price is due, subject to a minimum of €200, plus any applicable insurance premiums. The remaining balance must be paid 28 days before departure. Parents will find all the relevant details on the invoice.
Are there similar language trips in Great Britain?
Yes, for example, our Study Abroad for school students in Nottingham is comparable to Ardingly. Lessons also take place on a campus where the accommodation is located.
