Holiday Course Facilities
One of the greatest advantages of The Abbey is our magnificent campus, which is one of the best in the country for a privately-owned residential language school.
We aim to provide all the necessary facilities needed for students on one site.
The Abbey Colleges' 70 acres (28 hectares) of private grounds include the following facilities:
- A well-stocked library
- Self-access centre
- Up-to-date computer rooms (for academic and personal use)
- 15 classrooms
- Common room areas
- A multi-gym
- A licensed private bar for over 18's
Also there are various other specialist rooms. Students do not need to travel or pay for mainstream on-campus activities, which are supervised by our staff in a safe environment.
Activities are organised on a daily basis. Sporting activities normally take place in the afternoon, although for younger students we often have them in the mornings (with lessons in the afternoons) so that we can focus on specific activities for them.
Social events take place in the evenings. We always encourage all students to get involved, regardless of ability.
