Students on the course are tested upon arrival at Eton and placed in groups according to their ability; this allows each student the best opportunity to improve as much as possible during their time at Eton. Students are tested again at the end of the course to asses and compare their progress. To date, there has been an average improvement of 25% in students’ level of English.
Drama and public speaking lessons provide the students with opportunities to practice speaking and performing in front of others; essential skills for future leaders and businesspeople. In addition to lessons in English, students have university-style lectures on a variety of topics concerning contemporary Britain.
Students receive hands on experience of the British life, history and culture by visiting national icons such as the British Museum, The National Gallery, Windsor Castle, Oxford and Cambridge University, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, Wimbledon, and Chelsea Football Club. These experiences are then used as a basis for lessons and discussions.
In keeping with the goals of Eton College, the course places great importance on developing the students’ sense of independence, confidence, and self-sufficiency; providing the opportunity for each student to finish the course with more confidence in their own ability. Students will develop teamwork and leadership skills that will help them stand out and become highly valued and useful in their future careers. Days at Eton are intense and demanding; students are constantly challenged and always kept busy. Whether they are in or out of the classroom, students will be learning, improving, and having fun.
Students benefit from the highly unique experience of living and studying at an elite and world renowned British school. Students learn from Eton’s carefully selected, experienced, and prestigious teachers and enjoy a rare glimpse into the lifestyle normally led by Eton’s privileged students. The experience is ideal for students who are thinking about studying overseas but unsure of what to expect. The course allows them to enjoy the experience first-hand in a safe and supervised environment.
Knowledge of British culture, history, and etiquette will be valued by participants throughout their lives. It will help them interact more easily with Westerners, adapt to new cultures, and be culturally sensitive in today’s global environment. In addition to the academic benefits of the course, students also have the opportunity to benefit from visits to England’s most famous places, museums, and institutions.
