English in Britain

Print details   Add to my favorites  

Nestled in the centre of the bustling town of Totnes, Totnes European School is a small friendly school where individual student’s needs are catered for by our caring and experienced staff. Totnes is a historic and sociable town situated in the beautiful South Hams, and always welcomes students. The cities of Exeter and Plymouth and the seaside resort of Torbay are within easy reach, and London is 3 and ½ hours away by train.

We welcome students aged 17 or over, and our variety of English Courses can meet all individual requirements. All our courses focus on communicative teaching from dedicated and experienced teachers, and small classes ensure that students maximise their potential. We also run exam preparation classes for the Cambridge FCE, CAE and IELTS exams, and our Director of Studies is always available to ensure you get the most out of your time at the school.

Either alone or accompanied by an English course, we offer the opportunity of unpaid work experience placements within a variety of local companies ranging from shop assistant, to administrative work, to engineering, to laboratory work. These programmes are tailored to each student, and offer a fantastic occasion to broaden career prospects and experience British working life first hand.

Accommodation is provided within friendly, local host families who we have carefully selected, and they are all within walking distance of the school. During the work placement, students are hosted within walking distance or a short bus ride from their place of work.

We have a computer room with free internet and a dedicated student room for relaxation. There is a social programme every Wednesday so that students can get to know each other and practise their English outside the classroom!
