Family English : An Immersion Holiday in Scotland – for Everyone

Course description

For One Parent and One Child (Ages 11–15)

This is not a classroom-based English course.
This family English holiday is a shared, real-world English experience for one parent (or guardian) and one child aged 11–15, designed for families who want to use English naturally while spending meaningful time together.

It is especially well-suited to professionals who don’t want to leave their child at home, and who want a holiday that feels calm, adult, and genuine — not school abroad.

English is not taught through lessons or textbooks. Instead, it is used throughout the holiday in everyday situations: during outings, shared meals, conversations, and time spent exploring Scotland together.

How English support works

English support is light, responsive, and woven into daily life.

The English coach:

Supports natural conversation as it happens

Helps both adults and children feel comfortable using English

Offers gentle guidance when it supports clarity or confidence

There are no lessons, no children’s classes, and no separation into adult and child programmes.

What the experience includes

The holiday is shaped around:

Exploring the local area together

Shared activities suitable for adults and older children
