Portsmouth English Language School offers courses to junior learners (11-16 year-olds) during the peak season (July and August) as well as out of season (September to June).
The programmes are carefully planned and tailored to the specific needs of the groups. We like to work closely with the home institutions so as to ensure that the course participants have an enjoyable time and fulfilling learning experience. Therefore, it is advised to contact PELS well in advance when wishing to book a course.
Features of the junior programmes:
- Highly-motivating and engaging study programme.
- Exciting and varied activities programme.
- A high level of care and supervision.
- An opportunity to take a recognized exam at the end of the course.

We have our own syllabus which reflects the competencies and capabilities stated in the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) for languages as well as traditions and modern life in English-speaking countries.
Programme details:
