We run junior summer courses for English language students aged between 10-17. We have students from all over the world. The majority will be Italian, but we also have students from Spain, Portugal, Poland, Czech Republic, Argentina and Cyprus to name a few. Students usually stay for two weeks and take part in a mixed programme of lessons and activities/excursions which are run by Activity Leaders.
Our Mission
At Target English International we aim to provide our students with a comfortable and caring setting in the UK to improve their communication in English and develop skills for a more global society. We want our students to leave the course with a better understanding of UK culture and the inspiration to become life-long learners of English.

All teachers receive an on-site induction with the Director of Studies (which includes Trinity exam preparation if teaching in a Trinity Centre).
