Group School Integration Courses
Live and learn like an English teenager

Welcome to England, where you will have the chance to join in at an English High School with English students. You will study new subjects, experience a different teaching environment and explore new ways to learn. You’ll be introduced to an English ‘buddy’ who will be your guide and your friend as you navigate around your new school. We have a close working partnership with many of the excellent local schools in Norwich and Norfolk. * Please note these courses are not accredited by the British Council.

Full-day integration course


During the integration students spend the whole school day with their English ‘buddy’. They meet their friends and take part in all the lessons included in the curriculum. These lessons also include English Literature and Language. A full day integration experience enables students to immerse themselves not only in the culture, but the language itself. They will regularly use and practise their English language skills in a native environment. The class size will vary depending on the school, but English schools usually have 30 students per class. Class times vary, but a typical day at an English school runs between 08:30 – 15:30. At The English Experience, we have friendly, caring homestay hosts who will welcome you into their English home during your stay.

I found the lessons very interesting and truly interactive! I really enjoyed this and it helped me become more fluent when speaking in English.
