Worth Summer School, West Sussex, England

The programme offers three options to suit different needs and interests. The English + Sport option includes 15 hours of English tuition per week and 15 hours of specialist sport coaching per week. The Sport Only option with two sports provides 15 hours per week of one sport and 15 hours per week of another sport. The One Sport Only option, available for Football, includes 30 hours of intensive sport coaching per week. The English programme follows a project-based approach with two pathways: the English Foundation Pathway for levels A1 to C1 focuses on building functional English, practical grammar, and everyday communication through group projects and real-life language use. The Step-Up English Pathway for levels B2 to C2 develops skills for real-world academic, professional, and leadership settings through seminars, presentations, and debates. Lessons use authentic, up-to-date materials rather than textbooks. On arrival, students are placed into the appropriate pathway based on their level, maturity, and speaking confidence, and can move between pathways if ready. All courses are taught by qualified and experienced professionals.

he fees are fully inclusive and cover English language tuition, professional sports coaching, on-site accommodation and three meals a day, airport transfers on Sunday arrival and Saturday departure from specific airports at specific times, English reports and end-of-course certificates, fully supervised evening activities, student travel insurance, 24/7 welfare and medical support, and a two-day cultural excursion package for students staying two or more weeks.
