Description of centre

Established in 1976, Sidmouth International School is the only British Council accredited language school in Sidmouth, located on the scenic Jurassic coast of Devon, a World Heritage Site just 3 hours from London.

Sidmouth is a safe and friendly seaside town with beautiful surroundings and good leisure facilities, providing an ideal environment for the serious student or those wishing to combine study with vacation. The school is open all year with separate departments for adults, teenagers (14-17yrs) and juniors (8-13yrs Easter and summer only). In the summer we maintain a good nationality mix and only take individuals and occasionally, small groups. The students have classes which focus on their aims and interests. All courses include a social programme.
Homestay accommodation provides the student with the opportunity to practice the language and enjoy staying with a British family. All our families are carefully selected and for those hosting young learners, this includes a check by the local government service. The town also has a good selection of hotels and self-catering accommodation.
Every Saturday we have our own escorted FREE school bus service from/to London Heathrow Airport with a meet & greet service available for young students. We also offer a school car meeting service.
Sidmouth offers a perfect location for groups and we can design special tuition and activity programmes for all ages with all-inclusive prices.
Sidmouth International School is a Centre of Excellence (EL Gazette 2019)
