English With Style
Heathfield is a unique school – the only small, all girls, full boarding school in England. Founded in 1899, originally to educate daughters of the upper classes, over the years it has been home to young ladies from some of the world’s best known families, including daughters of royalty. Heathfield is now a school which combines tradition with twenty first century education and facilities. Many past pupils become highflying business women, lawyers or academics, are artists and designers or work in journalism, theatre and film.
Heathfield is now sharing the expertise that has helped create the self-confidence and charm of these young women and are offering a special new course called ‘English with Style’.
English with Style has been designed for girls to learn more about modern manners, behaviour, deportment and style while developing their fluency in English. We aim to help raise girls’ self-esteem and contribute to their personal development in preparation for the adult world.
English with Style course begins on the evening of Saturday 31st July and departures are on Saturday August 7th. This is the final week of the Summer School 4 week course. It is possible to attend only for this final week but for the course to be of most benefit, we would recommend attending one or more weeks of General English and Activities first.
Courses and workshops will be taught by Heathfield teachers and outside professional tutors.
English Tuition
The course includes 15 hours of English – general English in classroom lessons and special groups. In addition all other activities will be aimed at improving girls’ understanding and use of English in everyday situations and in interviews.
