Why Choose Us?

Boys and girls are accommodated separately. We normally place you in a bedroom with students from other countries. Where we offer single rooms, we mix nationalities in corridors. There is a personal laundry service once a week. Our staff also live in the boarding houses.

We provide a healthy range of food that includes typical English meals and international food.

Our staff are carefully selected and trained to ensure a high level of professionalism

Our teachers are all appropriately qualified

Many of our staff return year after year - some for 10 to 15 successive summers

Our small Head Office team is always available to answer your questions and solve problems quickly both before and during the course.

The Discovery Summer experience is about maximising opportunities for making new friends, improving your English and trying new activities. To benefit from this, we limit the time you can spend on your mobile phone. Phones may not be used in class, during activities or at meal times. Restrictions vary according to age and centre. See joining instructions for details.

Our English Student Hosts are the same age as you and come from all over the UK. They are carefully selected for their friendliness, confidence and interest in making new friends from all around the world. Learn colloquial English and improve your fluency by socialising with our English Student Hosts and working with them in class. You'll find out about British popular culture, slang and how we do things. Many Student Hosts come back year after year, so they can also help you settle into your daily routine at Discovery Summer.

When people think of Britain they may think of the Royal Family, cricket, fish and chips or a traditional afternoon tea but there is much more to learn! Throughout your stay, you'll be experiencing authentic British culture every day.

We offer a professional and friendly 'Meet and Greet' service.
