Project are a leading incoming

youth tour operator to the UK

with experience dating back

to 1986 and a reputation for

quality, safety and attention to

detail. Our staff, based in our

offices in London, Milan, Taipei

(covering Taiwan & China) and

Paris, are committed to a high

level of personal service and all

have the necessary dedication,

experience and enthusiasm to

ensure that our programmes

retain their excellent reputation.

International Summer Schools

Project International have attracted students from all over the world, including Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Mainland China, Korea, France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Scandinavia, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Russia, Estonia, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Israel, Greece, UAE, Ukraine, Mexico, Lebanon, Brazil, Iceland, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Ivory Coast and Morocco.

The aim is to provide an educational, recreational, social and cultural experience filled with happy memories

where new friendships are fostered and where returning the following year is a top priority! Our caring staff are on site 24 hours a day and are recruited for their ability to work with children and for their flair/qualifications on the teaching and/or activity front. There are senior staff specifically responsible for English, Activities, Excursions, Social Activities and Welfare/Pastoral Care.

Welfare and pastoral care are top priorities too and a doctor is always on call. We also place a huge emphasis on safety and security and are constantly

reviewing these vital areas.

Each day is structured so that the students are occupied morning, afternoon and evening. There is appropriate variation and always an emphasis on fun and all round enjoyment and we have found, over the years that this makes for a truly memorable programme for all concerned.

The international environment enables students from different parts of the world to exchange ideas and experiences, and to communicate in English.

dateS For dates at each school see pages 6-11 under appropriate school. Different schools have different changeover days. Note • 2 or 3 weeks is the ADVISED length of stay, though it is possible to book stays of less (or more) than this as long as the stay falls within the above dates and subject to availability. Please ask for further details.

PriceS and incLuSionSSee separate sheet for our 2013 prices. They are all fully inclusive.

eXcurSionSStudents are taken on escorted coach excursions twice a week: Normally these are Wednesdays for half days and Saturdays for full days though days vary from school to school. There are also free (or changeover) days (nor-mally Sundays) when extra excursions can be organised (some suggestions are listed under each school in this brochure) and it is popular to lay on recreational, rather than cultural, trips on such days. We have a Director of Ex-cursions who liaises with foreign group leaders regarding their planned trips, coaching etc. We cannot guarantee to send groups exactly where they want to go but we do our utmost. The more warning we have the better! Please also bear in mind that there are STAN-DARD excursions from each school; if groups want to go further afield from these destinations, an extra charge is made which is dependent on number in group and distance. There are standard entrances too (listed on each centre page in this brochure) that are included; be aware that if a different entrance is required (and can be accommodated) then a supplement may be payable. Please also consider that we have to maximise the occupancy of the coaches on excursions and therefore CANNOT send groups/individuals wherever they choose to go.

For groups going to a centre where London is NOT a standard excursion, a London overnight stay may be ideal – this can be tagged on at the end of the stay, prior to departure and gives a group far more quality time in the capital with the possibility of a theatre trip as well as sightseeing. Project can

organise the whole of this trip (see page 11).

Please note the recommended airports for appropriate centre given under relevant centre on pages 6-11. Supple-ments may apply if a different airport is chosen.

eVeninGSThere is a Director of Social Activities whose job it is to lay on a varied and popular schedule of evening entertain-ment. These include discos, karaoke, Blind Date, Talent Shows, Fashion Shows, Film Shows, Lucky Numbers, Project Olympics, etc. On certain eve-nings, there are two different activities one aimed at the younger students, the other at the older ones.

meaLSMeals are carefully planned with our on site chef/catering manager. A mixture of English and Continental Breakfasts are served. At lunch and dinner, there is always a salad bar with choice of hot meal (including a vegetarian option) and plenty of fruit. Students and leaders alike are urged to give us feedback on the meals; there is scope for flexibility and change!! All food is freshly prepared on site and all dietary requirements are catered for (providing advance warning is given!!)Please bear in mind that the chefs often have to cater for as many as 10 national-ities, which is particularly difficult when children are involved as cultures/tastes vary so much.

aFternoon actiVitieSThere is a wide range of ac-tivities on offer and we have a Director of Activities who plans each afternoon accord-ing to the demands of the students and in liaison with group leaders. Students can sign up for preferred activi-ties in the mornings or make their selection when the students congregate for ac-tivities at 2.15pm. The activity programme is designed for maximum participation and enjoyment; it is NOT a coach-ing establishment although, for an extra charge, we can

organise 1:1 tuition in certain activities with coaches we bring in especially for this purpose. Activities are many and varied and normally include: aerobics, art/craft, badminton, boomerang, bas-ketball, drama, Frisbee, football, golf, handball, horse riding*, kwik cricket, lacrosse, netball, pool, rugby, shoot-ing, short tennis, squash, table tennis, tennis, treasure trail, unihoc, volleyball, water polo etc...* supplement payable.

centre inFormationGeneral information on each school as well as details of accommodation is given on the appropriate centre page (pages 6-11). More detailed information (i.e. telephone numbers) will be sent out a month or so prior to departure. We also have fact sheets on each school including a sample programme. Do con-tact Head Office for these. Please note that most schools provide a full internet service for staff & students but this cannot be absolutely guaranteed; some schools have emergency work to do on their networks & others are loathe to let outside groups onto their network. In the main, however, internet should be fully accessible to all students.A laundry facility (NOT necessarily service!) is provided in all our centres. However this should not be taken to mean that a bespoke laundry service is done for students! Some schools will do the laundry for the students, others just provide the facility.

TuITIon

Students have 15 hours contact time per week

(normally Monday to Friday inclusive) and there

are generally no more than 15 students in a class. A

lot of emphasis is placed on trying to get students

to interact and converse in English as much as

possible. This is facilitated by providing students

with interesting communicative activities that help

to stimulate and encourage language use.

director oF StudieSEach centre has a Director of Studies who coordinates the English programme. He/she organises the testing, monitors the day-to-day teaching, provides advice and assistance to teachers and meets regularly with representatives of the various groups at the centre. There is also an overall Project International English Coordinator who visits each centre to check that the English programme is running well.

teachinG materiaLSWe have a wide range of communicative resource materials available to our teachers. These include an array of interesting and exciting language activities. Some of the EFL resources found at each centre include the following:

• Jet Primary 1, 2, and 3• Junior English Timesaver Drama in the Classroom• Timesaver Phrasal Verbs and Idioms• Timesaver Reading• Timesaver Grammar Activities:• Timesaver London• Timesaver Plays• Timesaver Customs and Lifestyles in the UK and Ireland• Timesaver Newspaper Articles• Timesaver Speaking Activities: Advanced• Reward Resource Packs• Project International Ideas Book

ProJect internationaL eFL SyLLaBuSThere is a separate teaching syllabus for our lower and higher level students. This clearly states which topics the students cover and how much of the course is devoted to either communicative language use or grammatical development. Our teachers follow the syllabus; however, there is sufficient flexibility to allow teachers an opportunity to integrate their own ideas and materials.

enGLiSh PLuS enGLiShThere is also the possibility for students to take English as a Plus option. This means that students have an additional two hours English tuition in the afternoon. For more information regarding our English Plus options, please contact head office.

certiFicateSAn end of course certificate is awarded to each student.

trinity coLLeGe SPoKen enGLiSh eXamIt is possible for groups to take the Trinity College Spoken English Exam, though we would ask for plenty of prior warning! Students who take the exam are given assistance and didactic support during the English course to ensure that they are well prepared for the exam. Many Trinity exam topics are covered in the Project International EFL syllabus.

The English programme is a central part of the overall package we provide.

A typical teaching dayClasses begin at 0915 and finish at 1245. There are two 15 minute breaks.

09:15-10:15 The teacher presents a topic and some related vocabulary. A new grammatical structure or language function is also introduced, which is then reinforced using either a written or spoken activity.

10:15-10:30 Break

10:30-11:30 The focus here is on getting students to work together on a specific task, using the language function or grammatical structure covered in the first hour. By setting an interesting skills-based task, we feel it stimulates communica-tion and is also more enjoyable.

11:30-11:45 Break

11:45-12:45 In the final hour, students are encouraged to work on a small project, which is often pre-sented to the class.

Use of English CourseWe organise a ‘Use of English’ course for students with a high level of English proficiency. The aim of this course is to provide students with an opportunity to learn more about British culture, engage in lively debate, improve their public speaking skills, and explore various aspects of English literature and drama.

summer famIly sTay Programme | lonDon 2013

We will again be offering a family stay programme in 2013 based

in the London area. We can offer families & teaching centres in

Morden, Wallington, Harrow, West Wickham, Twickenham, Eltham

& Bromley. For full details contact Head Office.

year round homeStaySWe can offer year round homestay programmes to individuals and groups either combining a study course (more suitable for groups) or merely a cultural stay. In the summer, we can also offer combination courses where students stay in an English family but study at one of our residential schools (SEE SUMMER SCHOOL SECTION). The map below shows where our homestay centres are located.

miniStaySOur ministay centres are in CATERHAM, TWICKENHAM, BROMLEY, EASTBOURNE, BRIGHTON, SEVENOAKS and CANTERBURY. We have first rate organisers in these centres and can offer an excellent product for groups wanting a programme either concentrating on cultural visits or study & culture. We can lay on all transportation for those groups coming without their own bus.

immerSion StaySImmersion stays enable students to live with an English family and spend each day with that family. They are geared for individuals who have no contact with anyone from their own country during their stay (normally between 2 and 4 weeks.) Families would almost often have children of the same age as their foreign guest and they would totally immerse their guest in their day to day lives. No tuition is involved.

We operate these stays in a number of towns around England including Hastings, Stratford upon Avon, Gloucester, Torquay & Brighton. Further details from Head Office.

one to oneSAs the term implies these are courses where students live in a family and have one to one tuition, normally with the mother or father in the family. Tuition can be for 15, 20 or 25 hours a week.

The student spends the rest of the day with his/her host family, again being totally welcomed into every day family life. Again we can offer a number of centres around the UK.

Contact Head Office for more information on all the above products.

YEAR ROUND STAYS

LONDON EXTENSION STAYS

lonDon sTaysProject International offer London Cultural stays all year round for any number of nights, based in host family or hotel accommodation.

We can tailor make a programme to suit any group’s needs – with transportation, specialised sightseeing tours, meals, entrances, theatre trips or full day trips out to cities like Oxford & Cambridge.

We have a range of hotels catering for all budgets, and all centrally located and near an underground station.

Many groups attending one of our residential summer programmes voice their concern that they do not get long enough in London on the full day excursion. As in many countries, traffic seems to get heavier every year and, accordingly, journey time increases and the whole day becomes rushed.

We are recommending that groups consider either having 2 days/1 night in London prior to departure (either 13/20 nights in school followed by a night in London or an extra night in London over & above the 14/21 nights in school) or consider an overnight stay in London on the free day – though this may mean missing a morning’s teaching.

For all further information & prices for 2013 Year Round London Stays and for Extended London Stays in summer 2013, please contact Head Office.

Departure

A typical programme might look like this:


The programme offers students aged 13 - 18 the opportunity of learning in depth about London and all the hidden delights of the English capital. The course will be for 2 weeks (7th - 21st July). Students will again be accommodated with families in the Harrow area.

Each weekday they will travel into Central London, by train, either for morning lessons with an experienced and highly motivational teacher - who might also be a Blue Badge Guide from London’s official and prestigious guiding organisation, or to proceed directly with that days visit. When there are lessons, they will be held in excellent classrooms belonging to the Institute of Education in Central London and will be of varying length according to the nature of that day’s visit. A classroom session will focus on a different aspect of London - Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Art and Drama in London, etc. Later, students will visit a site related to the topic they have studied in the mornings accompanied by their teacher.

This is a unique opportunity to combine seeing London with actually learning in detail from an inspirational expert about the capital’s different attractions and seeing them at first hand!

school InTegraTIon sTays

uk school InTegraTIonIn the school year 2012/13 we dramatically increased our numbers for UK Integration stays. They are

becoming extremely popular and a great opportunity to mix with English students immersed in a

school environment. The programmes enable students to attend an English School and “shadow” an

English counterpart through the school day. In 2012/13 we will be continuing to expand this product

and will be opening up new schools/areas as well as offering these stays in boarding schools.

We can offer integration stays at any time during the English School Academic Year. Minimum stay is 2 weeks, maximum 7 weeks For details on UK school holidays in 2012/13 contact PI Head Office.

Remember government schools in the UK do not finish their school year until mid/late July so the summer is a popular time to participate in these programmes. We recommend a weekend arrival in the UK so that students can start school on Monday morning.

When? Where?

Age

Accommodation

Who?

In government schools, we offer three main areas for integration stays:

• Devon (including Torquay, Exeter, Dartmouth)

• Salisbury• Sussex• Blackpool• London suburbs• Crowborough

We have several schools in each area so can accommodate bigger groups.

We also have some private boarding schools who can offer integration stays though numbers are more limited. Schools are located in:

We welcome individuals as well as groups

On government school programmes, accommodation is in carefully chosen local families. Students are normally accommodated 2 or 3 per family.

We have an on the spot local coordinator who inspects the families and is on hand to solve any issues. Breakfast & dinner are taken with the host families, whilst lunch (on weekdays) is taken at school.

On the Boarding School programme, students live on campus and all meals are taken in school.

We offer these stays in primary as well as secondary schools so can cater for the 8-18 year age range though we strongly suggest those under 11 years do not come without a group leader.

acaDemIc year ProgrammesboarDIng school PlacemenTs

Project International acts for over 30

independent (private) schools (some girls only,

some boys only, some mixed, some highly

academic, others less so, some big, some small)

and place children from overseas in such

schools as full time boarders normally with a

view to going on to a degree course in an English

university.

We can cater for children aged from 10 to 18 years and, as an ex Head of Department in a top English boarding school, our Managing Director is ideally placed to recommend the most suitable school for a particular individual. This is done in consultation with the parents or an agent representing such parents.

Project International can assist the parent, or agent, in one of three ways:

1. Project International, after discussion with the parent/agent, will recommend a school (or schools) and makes the necessary introduction. The agent/parent then deals directly with the school, completing all paperwork etc. No charge is made for this service by PI.

2. As for 1) above but PI assists with all paperwork and acts as a local agent prior to entry. A charge is made for this service some of which is refunded if the student proceeds with one of the selected schools.

3. As with 2) above but PI can also assist with guardianships, transport at start/end of each term and generally be a point of contact in the UK post entry, providing peace of mind for the parent. A charge is made depending on amount of support required.

We also offer a range of government run schools with a minimum commitment of 2 terms. The cost is roughly half that of private schools and students live with carefully selected host families near to the school they attend.

Please contact Head Office for further details of schools, termly fees, application procedures etc.

General Booking Terms & Conditions

1) The first move by a client towards booking a group with PROJECT INTERNATIONAL (PI) must be to request a set number of places for a specified time period (arrival and departure to be clearly stated.) PI will then send a letter of allocation specifying how many places are being held, name of centre and the exact arrival and departure dates. It will also specify a cut off date by which time the reservation will be released. Deadline dates can be extended on request, though PI cannot guarantee to do so. An allocation letter does NOT constitute confirmation of booking in any shape or form.

2) Once a client wishes to go ahead and confirm the reservation, they must put this confirmation in writing CLEARLY stating dates (as on allocation letter,) number in group (excluding free places) and clearly signed by the person responsible for handling the booking. All future correspondence will be addressed to this person. (NB. Numbers can be added at a later date subject to availability.) The booking will be confirmed and a contract will then exist, once PI have confirmed the details of the booking in writing. This will be done within 24 hours of having received the client’s confirmation letter.

3) Within two weeks of having confirmed the booking, PI will require a deposit; an invoice will be raised for the projected total and the client will be in breach of contract if this payment is not made by the date specified.

4) The balance will be due four weeks prior to arrival in the UK. (In the event of an option being taken out less than four weeks before arrival in the UK, full payment will be due on confirmation.)

5) As stated above, extra numbers can be added to a group at a later date (subject to availability.) This will be confirmed in writing and an invoice raised accordingly; payment will be expected immediately if less than four weeks before arrival.

6) Should a client have to cancel a booking, it must be done in writing to PI and, once received by us, we will acknowledge this in writing within three working days of receiving the client notification. Cancellation charges are payable as follows:

More than 4 weeks before commencement date - Loss of deposit 3-4 weeks before commencement date - 60% of holiday cost will be charged 2-3 weeks before commencement date - 85% of holiday cost will be charged Less than 2 weeks before commencement date - 100% of holiday cost will be charged

7) PI reserve the right to exclude, expel or refuse any person at any time to any course or activity if, in the opinion of PI, that person is not compatible with the general enjoyment or well being of other clients. In this case, no refund will be given for any unexpired portion of the activity, course or tour.

8) No cancellation will be paid or refund given if the cancellation or change by PI is brought about by war or threat of war, strikes, disaster, terrorist activities, quarantine, technical problems with transportation, weather or any other event outside the control of PI.

9) PI shall not be liable for any loss or damage to any luggage or any person undertaking a holiday, or any loss, delay or inconvenience, or fatal or other injuries or illness suffered by that person, provided PI has exercised reasonable care.

Where it is necessary this will at all times be done with the success of the programme, and the overall enjoyment by the group(s) concerned, in mind.

11) Bookings made directly by persons under 18 cannot usually be accepted.

12) Bed linen is provided but towels and soap are not.

13) No responsibility can be taken by Project International for any damage done to articles of clothing while being laundered.

19) Students will be required to pay a deposit of GBP 30.00 IN CASH against damages on arrival at the school. This will of course be returned to them at the end of their stay should they not be responsible for any damages. This deposit can be paid in Euros and, with groups, the Group Leader will be responsible for collecting & depositing such monies.
