Learning outcomes
Students will:

     Improve their spoken English

     Increase their vocabulary

     Make new friends from around the world

     Visit and learn about iconic destinations
     in Scotland

     Be prepared for studying in an
     English-speaking environment

Course content
Students follow a daily programme of 15 English
language lessons in the morning, while afternoons
are devoted to cultural study trips with their new
friends.
Each afternoon, students can explore a new part
of Edinburgh and the South of Scotland. The
class curriculum is integrated into the afternoon
activities. There is a lot to learn about Holyrood
Palace, Arthur’s Seat, Edinburgh Castle, and
much more.
Each week there is also one full-day excursion
further afield so students can make the most
of their time in Scotland and see the highland
mountains, castles and other famous Scottish
cities. See page 16.
There is also one afternoon per week on site for
organised sports and arts activities led by IH staff.
Your child can choose from a range of options such
as rounders, IH Olympics, football, drama, yoga,
woodland walks or arts and crafts. All the activities
are run so students are with their own age group.
There is a full programme in the evenings too, with
quizzes, fashion shows, film nights and a disco.
Students practise their English inside and outside
of the classroom, for the best learning experience.
