MW Courses

Learn English, have fun and make new friends - a summer holiday to remember


We pack a lot into our summer programmes.  Fifteen hours of English language tuition each week, in classes of maximum of 12 students, will really help you to develop your language skills.  At the end of the course, you'll receive a certificate indicating the degree of progress you have made.

Whichever course you choose, you'll benefit from the same high teaching standards.  The course leaders - highly qualified teachers or instructors - work with the summer school staff to provide a vacation language course of a superior quality. 

Each MW Summer School programme includes two full day excursions and an additional half day educational visit to a local attraction each week.  Evenings are for barbeques, discos and socialising with your new friends - a great way to practise your English.
