English & Sailing in England

Students have English lessons at school each weekday morning and 3 hours of sailing lessons in the afternoons from Tuesday to Friday. The sailing takes place with professional instructors in the safe environment of Weymouth Harbour, a large harbour where the sailing events in the 2012 Olympics will take place.

All equipment is provided by the school, including wetsuits and buoyancy aids. Students must be able to swim at least 25 metres and they must wear buoyancy aids at all times when on the water. If the weather is too windy, alternative water sports activities will be arranged as far as possible.

At the end of the course the students will receive a Royal Yachting Association Certificate of at least stage one in the Young Sailors' Scheme.

In the evenings and at weekends the students have a programme of activities.
