English courses in The Channel Islands

The English Channel is more than just a body of water - it is the home of over 150,000 islanders. Going to English school in The Channel Islands is a great way to engage in island culture and history, while simultaneously learning English from native speakers. The island group is split into two major English bailiwicks – the Guernsey bailiwick and the Jersey bailiwick. Each island, inhabited or not, has it's own history, identity and essence. In Guernsey, visit one of the world's smallest chapels, the Little Chapel, and snack on a Guernsey gache, a local pastry. Take a boat trip to Herm or Sark for great views of St. Peter Port's lighthouse and Castle Cornet. For history lovers, head to Alderney island northeast of Guernsey to ride the historic railroad and discover the island's past at the local museum. Jersey hosts the largest town on the islands, St. Helier. Step back in time at the Jersey Museum or go farther back in time with a visit to Elizabeth Castle. This island is also a great place to connect with nature, whether it's cycling past the Jersey farm cows, walking along the cliffs, or spending a relaxing day at the beach. For dinner, try black butter, a traditional farm-house delicacy made from cider apples. Jersey is an ideal jumping point to France, England and many of the other smaller islands as well. Take English courses in The Channel Islands and get the best of both worlds.
