Our Summer 2008
residential junior vacation courses take place at Port Regis School, set
in large, private grounds in beautiful Dorset in the South of England,
about 2 hours from London. In order to encourage the speaking of English socially at the school a maximum of 4 boys and 4 girls are accepted on each course who share the same mother tongue. The directors of English Country Schools, Christopher and Sarah Etchells, live on site with their family during the summer to personally supervise the school. |

Excellent on-site facilities include a nine-hole golf-course, tennis courts, an all-weather hockey pitch, a large sports hall and a 25-metre indoor heated swimming-pool. Horse riding is also available near the school. |
