Reasons why your child should take a St Giles Juniors English Course

The English language is one of the world’s international languages, and for many parents, it’s essential for their children to gain English-speaking skills that will benefit them now and in the future.

While English language courses at school are valuable, nothing compares to the immersive experience of enrolling in an English Course for Juniors abroad. This option may seem intimidating, but here are compelling reasons to allow your children to embrace this incredible opportunity during the summer.

Reasons to Choose an English Course for Juniors

Immersive Learning Experience

Many schools worldwide teach English as part of their curriculum. However, this doesn’t guarantee that effective communication skills can be developed in real-world circumstances.

Allowing your children to study abroad in an English-speaking country will enable them to learn English in an environment where they are encouraged to read, write, and speak in English. Through this experience, your children will be surrounded by native English speakers, allowing them to adapt and practice what they learn during classes in a real-world setting.

Builds Confidence and Independence

By sending your children on an English course for juniors abroad, you will also enable them to develop essential life skills in a safe and secure environment.

They will learn key skills such as organisation, as they will be expected to attend their classes on time, complete their homework, ask for help when needed, and manage their daily routines. This level of independence is not easily replicated at home.
