Social Programme

Studying English in Cyprus is not all about being in the classroom. You will explore Cyprus and make new international friends to maximise your experience.Let’s explore! We offer the opportunity to enjoy the rich Mediterranean culture through excursions, festivals, traditional food and dancing and many other activities. Let’s socialise! We arrange lots of events that help you to make new friends and keep up with your English conversations in a casual atmosphere.The cost of the social programme is not included in the price of study. However, there are many events in Cyprus for you to enjoy which are fairly priced for individuals on any budget.

It is the first time for me to visit Cyprus. I’m enjoying my stay very much every day. I can study English with students from various countries around the world, but it is a new experience to go to a language school without Asian students.
