More Than English international summer school for ambitious students 11-17 years old (July-August 2020)

Review of More Than English

I want to talk about More than English positive things. The first thing when you arrive is the special castle. It is when you open the door you see sofas and armchairs. Then there are people who wear green T-shirts, these are the staffs. Let’s go swimming in the swimming pool. Over the swimming pool there is a beautiful glass- tunnel. Now we have to go to the dinner the chef is Paul. He cooks excellent. After dinner we have activities, we can choose from football and handball. I think I choose football. Our staff: Ania, Jacob, Lauren, Seth, Valentina explain the game to us. Tomorrow we have three lessons. One lesson is sixty minutes. The teachers are Bethan, Calvin, Emma, Ian, Jai, Louise, Lucy and Matt. The bedrooms are very funny because there is Pirate and Spitfire etc. The rules are to go to sleep at 10.30pm don’t cheat, don’t shout out. And the Get Ahead you can choose before you arrive at Moor Park School. You can choose between football, tennis and golf.

Excelente Escola de Verão

Meu filho aproveitou muito o período em que esteve na More Than English, desde o aeroporto às viagens o staff foi muito presente e organizado. David e Claire estavam sempre disponíveis para tirar dúvidas e passar informações sobre a situação dele. As atividades ocorriam a todo o tempo, permitindo uma completa interação com os outros estudantes.

My experience at MTE

At MTE summer school, you will have a chance to meet students from 16 nationalities. I made some great friends that I will remember forever.
You will be situated on a very big campus. The facilities include huge football pictures, a sports hall and many classrooms. The rooms are very spacious and I found my bed to be quite comfortable. While you are in the dormitory, house parents take care of everything. They ensure that you are on time for activities and can help you with many things. Our house parent Janna was very nice.
The food features meals from a lot of countries so you get a truly international experience. On a few occasions, I found the food to be too spicy, but that isn't a huge problem as there are always multiple options.
My teacher was very interesting and fun. He also made sure that everyone is included, which certainly improved my experience. In the afternoon, I studied Macbeth which I found to be both fun and challenging. I liked the fact that we discussed the play a lot and tried to predict what will happen next.
Overall, my experience at MTE was great - both times. In fact, I would say that these two weeks were the best part of my summer.

summer school at ludlow

Our sons went last summer to more than english course. There was the first time we have left them alone abroad, but we always feel they were looked after incredibly well.
They learnt a lot, very motivated to speak English everywhere, made friends of different countries and did so many excursions and activities. When we went to pick up them they didn't want to return home!
The landscape is incredible.
I would definitely recommend it.

Agradecimiento a More Than English desde México

David:
Debo darle las gracias por la maravillosa experiencia que mi hija tuvo este verano con ustedes, fue enriquecedor para sus sentidos el convivir con chicos de otros países y percatarse que al final todos a su edad tienen las mismas inquietudes y los mismos sueños en cualquier parte del mundo. Se ha enamorado más de Inglaterra que antes de ir y sé que a eso ustedes han ayudado, mil gracias a Gareth y a Alma que me guiaron aquí en México, deseo sinceramente que el campamento crezca cada año porque su trato es muy profesional y cálido...
Espero que Dios bendiga a usted y a todo su equipo

More Than English Summer School

This summer was one of the most different experiences of my life. First of all, I met people of 13 different nationalities, cultures and thoughts making friendships that I’m taking with me forever. Two weeks in a beautiful big campus, with large green fields, a swimming pool, tennis courts and football fields. The rooms were big and with a lot of space. I shared my room with 5 girls of 5 different nationalities, and it was really fun!
Summer school is about classes too, but my teacher and my classmates were the best ever! We had so much fun that we didn’t even feel bothered about having classes. I had 10 classmates of 7 different nationalities.
The food on the campus was really diverse, but I hope next year it isn’t as spicy as it was this year and I hope they put salt in it. My favourite meals were croissant for breakfast, lasagna for lunch and barbecue outside for dinner.
About the Get Ahead options, I did film and dance, but I preferred film. It was funny, challenging and dynamic. There were special features like archery, zorb football, paintball and cardio tennis which were so much fun I can’t describe! There were some excursions too, to Bath, Birmingham and London: so much fun! We saw a lot of England and its culture.
I had an amazing summer, so thank you More Than English for making it happen.

More Than English 2016

My experience at More Than English was amazing.

The accommodation was great, a traditional English building with modern technology in the classrooms. There was also a swimming pool, a lake, an art classroom, sports hall and a design classroom. On the massive green areas there were multiple football, cricket, rounders, tennis and golf pitches/courses.

The food was exceptional. There were some traditional British dishes such as fish and chips, but there were also dishes from rest of the world. One day we had a French breakfast, followed by a Mexican lunch! You'll occasionally stumble upon something you don't really like, however there will be many more dishes that you'll enjoy.

The staff was always friendly, nice and approachable.

The English lessons were based on various TED talks which meant that it inspired us to debate on many topics. The classes were dynamic, one day we pretended to be investigators, while the next day we pretended to be art experts buying different artworks without knowing their real price. It was really funny finding out that the painting you paid 100 million pounds for is actually only worth about 500 pounds in real life.

What makes this school special are Get Ahead options. They are afternoon classes which are all about one topic you choose. It can be speech making, golf, tennis, football, film, dance and many more. Through these classes you meet professional coaches and teachers.

The excursions were also great, we visited a lot of cities in the whole England including London and Birmingham.

The activities were, in my opinion, the best part. We played many sports, went to the cinema, played paintball, zorb football, had a fashion show and did some cooking. You could always choose which activity you would prefer. For example, one day while I was playing football, some of my friends were in the swimming pool and some were doing archery!

My trip to England on summer 2016 was a very positive experience and I recommend More Than English to anyone looking for a perfect summer school.

Alina Kokina review

The school itself is gorgeous. It is old but beautiful. The school had plenty of facilities like a big swimming pool, tennis court, sports hall and other places like football and cricket pitches. There was a lot of green spaces around the school and a lot of wonderful views of hills, fields and farms. Toasting marshmallows on the campfire was one of my best memories from the summer school.

The accommodation itself was ok. We had a huge dorm with 6 people in it. Sometimes it was too much and felt overcrowded but other times it was very funny (particularly at night).

Moving on to the food, I loved it! It was different every day and we had various types of international food for lunch and dinner like Mexican, Italian. My favourite ones were rice and curry and a wonderful vegetarian lasagne. By the way, there was a great choice of vegetarian and vegan food which was delicious. Breakfast was quite similar every day but we did have more choice other than toast and cereal. The coffee was pretty good too.

Overall, More Than English summer school was a great opportunity to improve my English. Chatting with people from around the world was super interesting. It really feels like my English skills developed quite a lot.

Francesca\' review

The campus was really nice it had lots of green and even some cows and dogs going around the place. The building itself is beautiful and also very very English\1

As for the accommodation I was in a room with 2 girls from different countries so I had the opportunity to often speak English. The room was cosy but maybe a little too small for three people.

Moving on to the lessons, the Core English lessons were amazing even though I was the only one from my country.

All in all, there were people from 13 different countries, and I met some lovely people that I became friends with really quickly!
