Here are three good reasons:
1. They're safe      2. They're FUN      3. You learn


Safe?
Yes, because...
  • Students are FULLY SUPERVISED throughout the course
  •  We are the only accredited language school in Shrewsbury, so we have the pick of the best families
  • We only use host families we know and trust
  • Emergency phone lines are available 24 hours a day
  • We give students a full introduction to their stay in England
  • All excursions are led by senior Severnvale staff
  • Shrewsbury is NOT a big, dangerous city

Yes, because...
  • We go to some of the top leisure parks in Britain
  • Excursions don't only mean seeing things - they mean DOING things too
  • Full day excursions usually include 2 or 3 different kinds of activity
  • EVERYTHING is included in the course price - no hidden extras!
  • We use top quality venues for sports, for swimming, for cinema, for football matches
  • We have great barbecues - eat-as-much-as-you-want, at no extra charge
  • We have brilliant discos
  • WE enjoy it all too!
You learn?
Yes, because...
  • We care that learning happens: we don't just keep our students conveniently occupied
  • Our teachers are all qualified and enthusiastic, and know how to motivate young people
  • We have a very international environment - often 18 to 20 different nationalities here at the same time
  • We're a small school.  Our youth centre is limited to 95 students because we like to know every one personally
  • Classes are small too: the guaranteed maximum is 12 in a class; typically there are 9 or 10
  • In our syllabus design, DOING and ENJOYING are vital elements - they aren't just left to chance
  • Staff monitor every student's progress; we keep spaces open in the higher classes for promotion
  • We set homework and we check that it's done:  we give awards for good work and progress
  • Our youth centre is well-equipped and comfortable - among other things it has a riverside terrace café
