Why should I choose a Crossroads Languages young learner programme ?
Our personalised service
We are there to guide and help you from the start of your selection process to the
end of your child’s stay.
Before you book, we use our experience to find the right city and programme to suit
your child. While your child is taking part in the programme we will be ready to
help any time you have a question. We will be your link to the school.
Our portfolio
We work with some of the very best language schools. All the young learner centres
in the Crossroads Languages portfolio are chosen for their ability to meet the highest
criteria to offer your child an exceptional language learning holiday. All schools
are accredited by the official bodies in their countries and have passed strict
quality controls.
They are organised and run by schools that are all well established and respected
for their teaching methods and professional approach to language holidays.
Many of our partners are also leading centres for teacher training, and so offer
an additional guarantee to the excellent quality of their courses.
A caring environment
All centres guarantee a warm welcome. Every care is taken to ensure that students
are well looked after in the most caring and secure environment whether in the centre,
in their host family or outside taking part in activities.
A qualified, dedicated team
All teachers are carefully selected, both for their teaching qualifications and
their ability to relate to young learners. They are all native speakers of the language
they are teaching. Schools have a dedicated team of social activity leaders chosen
for their social and sporting skills.
A well designed learning programme
While all the centres chosen by Crossroads Languages take language learning very
seriously, having fun is also a priority and they work hard to make the school a
friendly and a relaxed place to be. Our schools are extremely attentive to the needs
of their young learners and courses are organised to help them make the maximum
progress while enjoying the learning experience and making new friends. Programmes
focus on improving confidence and fluency and are integrated with out of class activities.
A fun social programme
The schools organise a varied social programme to suit the interests of this age
group. All programmes include fully supervised afternoon and evening activities
and full day excursions to places of local and national interest. We have chosen
locations where your child can visit a variety of places of interest and enjoy a
range of sports and leisure facilities.
An exciting cultural experience
Crossroads partner schools welcome children from all around the world. Your child
will have the opportunity to make friends with other students of different nationalities
and cultures while practising their English at all times.
A choice of accommodation
You can choose the type of accommodation that will suit your child.
Whether staying with a host family or in a residence, your child will stay in a
warm caring atmosphere.
As well as providing comfortable housing, the families are also chosen for their
friendliness and ability to make young learners feel part of the family and have
plenty of opportunity to practise the language.
Residential centres allow young people to make friends from all over the world and
are closely supervised by staff 24 hours a day.
