UKLCX is a summer language programme for students aged 12-17 that develops their interest in learning both inside and outside the classroom. From the fine surroundings of Clifton College, in the heart of "Europe's handsomest suburb", we welcome individual students and small groups to friends to take part in our experiential language course. In the classroom, our main course, called The English Experience (14 hours / week), takes an engaging, problem-based approach to the classroom as described below. Mid-week excursions are tied into the topics so learning continues both indoors and outside. In the afternoons, students pursue Electives of their choice (6 hours / week), before afternoon activities (include options for sports and non-sports) and interactive evening entertainments every night. Our second full-day excursions take place on Saturdays and involve graffiti tours of Bristol, with a stencil workshop, or a trip to The BBC Earth Exhibition in Earls Court. Every student who stays two weeks or longer will visit London at least once and take part in at least one outdoor activity day. Transfers are included for flights arriving / departing on Sundays, to / from London Heathrow and Bristol Airports (or Bristol temple Meads Station), between 10am-4pm. For other airports and times outside that window, transfer fees are charged.

Teaching and Lessons
The English Experience, our main course on the UKLCX programme (14 hours / week), challenges students to work together to develop solutions to complicated issues. By posing such problems as 'Improve the Environmental Impact of the College', or 'Write a Constitution for the UK', we engage students on a deeper level and help them to develop their abilities in teamwork, planning, conflict resolution, problem solving, and critical thinking, while encouraging creativity, experimentation with ideas, and the use of English. On four afternoons a week (6 hours), students follow an Elective option of their choice. Included in the course are Mini UN, Public Speaking, Creative Writing, News Reporters, Grammar Workshops, and Young Environmentalists. For an additional fee, Extra Electives offer students professional coaching in football, tennis, or golf, exam preparation work, and horse riding.
