Summer Break and Year Round Programs

Our 2006 program will be located on the Gold Coast 1 hr south of Brisbane The program will operate a residential component during July 23 and August 13 in 2006 open to both ESL and native English speakers. After August 13 we will be running a new additional homestay component for 3 weeks until the 3rd of September which is designed to give ESL participants from the residential program a more intensive English experience with an Australian family. A 2 week residential stay is recommended before the homestay component.

Group programs can be run year round by request during March - November. (Minimum numbers apply see below)
