Group Programmes
Our group programme are an increasingly popular way for foreign students to learn English at the Abbey College as they enable students either from the same school or the same country, to travel and stay together as a group in the UK. In this way they gain all the benefits of being with friends and a group leader whilst mixing with our many different nationalities on campus.
Group Programmes Specifications
Each of our group programmes are genuinely tailor-made for each group, depending on what they wish to focus on, whether it is particular sports and excursions or specific academic subjects. We can also arrange English Plus' group courses in this way. Groups of all sizes are welcome at any time apart from Christmas, and can stay for any length of time to suit them.
Accommodation for Group Programmes
Students attending group programmes at the Abbey College can either stay on campus or at allocated host family houses in the local area. Our highly trained boarding house members of staff are always on hand should students need advice or assistance with aspects of college life such as general health, well-being or any special arrangements that may be required for students to attending places of worship for religious purposes.
The Abbey College provides a number of accommodation options ideal for students attending group programmes, from residential houses on campus and self catering accommodation to host families in and around the picturesque Malvern area.
We ensure that support is available 24 hours a day from friendly approachable house parents who make sure students are in bed by acceptable times and are woken up in time for breakfast. Our residential accommodation features common rooms and social areas as well as wireless internet access.
Our on-site college catering facilities provide 3 meals per day, seven days a week, which are included within group programme fees. In addition we operate a ‘smart card’ system which enables students to purchase items of food and drink during the day outside of meal times.
Group Programmes for All Ages
We aim to make our group programmes available to students of all ages from 8 to 18+. We offer 3 age groups; children aged between 8-11 years, teenagers from 12-17 years and 18+ students. Each of the groups of students who attend classes and sports activities at the college have their very own dedicated group leader who can advise them on college facilities, local amenities and transport links to cities they may wish to visit.
Tailor Made Group Programmes
The group programmes that we offer students range from courses which are purely academic to a mixture of studies and sporting activities and cultural days out to local towns and cities. We provide great flexibility with group courses so we make sure students attending the Abbey College get what they want out of the time they spend with us.
