Alpadia English Summer Camp Ardingly: Residential English Camp in West Sussex

Alpadia English Summer Camp in Ardingly is run by Alpadia Language Schools, part of Kaplan International, on the campus of Ardingly College near Haywards Heath in West Sussex. It is a residential camp for students aged 10 to 17. Programme and activities. Two course intensities are offered: English Standard 20 and English Intensive 25, the numbers referring to lessons per week. Both are taught by native teachers in small classes. Lessons are combined with a full activity and excursion programme, so the timetable runs across the day rather than finishing after morning classes. Families choosing between the two options are choosing how much of the week is spent in the classroom versus on the activity programme. Accommodation and supervision. Students stay in residence accommodation on the Ardingly College campus, in supervised rooms, with lessons, activities and facilities all on the same site. Supervision is provided 24/7 as part of the residential arrangement. Ages, dates and duration. The camp accepts students aged 10 to 17. Arrival dates fall in July; the sessions currently open are listed in the session block on this page. Parents should confirm the exact dates and the current price for their chosen course intensity before booking travel. Location and travel. Ardingly College is in the West Sussex countryside, near Haywards Heath, within reach of London Gatwick — one of the more convenient rural locations in the catalogue for families flying in. Transfer arrangements are not published as part of the standard package and should be confirmed with the provider. Who the programme may suit. This camp may suit families who want an established international provider and a closed campus where accommodation, teaching and activities sit together, rather than a city programme with daily travel. The 10 to 17 age range is wide, so parents of younger children should ask how groups are organised. Families who would prefer their child to live with a British host family should note that Alpadia offers that format at other centres, including Bath and Torquay, but not here.
