Strathallan Course for Young Learners

10-13 years (July), 14-17 years (August)

This famous school in the heart of the countryside offers all the fun of open-air pursuits in freedom and safety. Just ten minutes from the attractive town of Perth and one hour from Edinburgh, Strathallan School is a magnificent nineteenth-century building standing in its own extensive private grounds. With woods, indoor swimming pool, large sports hall and all-weather tennis courts, it’s the ideal setting for an active visit.

Our Strathallan students study English in the morning. They enjoy lessons that are designed to be challenging yet fun and to improve language accuracy, fluency and communicative skills. Our classes are limited in size in order to encourage maximum participation from each student.

In the afternoon our Young Learners enjoy sports and excursions, with planned entertainment in the evening. On this large campus, students can explore and enjoy the wide range of facilities. We also introduce them to Perth and Dundee, attractive small towns with excellent visitor facilities. We explore the hills and the coast, and we visit other parts of Scotland, such as the cities of Edinburgh, St. Andrews and Glasgow.
