Academic Courses
English Language Lessons
Language Lessons
At XUK English, we focus on ‘learning through doing’ and our experienced staff are passionate about delivering interesting and motivating lessons. We follow a competency-based syllabus, which reflects the Common European Framework, and encourage our teachers to use interactive activities in the classroom.
Whatever their level, each child’s English is assessed on their first day. This means that they will be able to learn with others who are at a similar stage and age group.
Every week teachers re-assess each child to see if they have made sufficient progress to move up to the next class. At the end of the course, every child receives a certificate and report to record their achievement.
On 5 mornings of the week there are 3 hours of lessons and these are split into two 90 minute sessions with different teachers. Our lessons are delivered in modern, bright classrooms and in our outdoor areas.

Dear Nick,
we would like to thank you for the wonderful camp the kids had last week.
They came back home and couldn’t stop telling lovely stories of interesting activities, sports, nice staff and new friends, and everything was well-organized.
They even said, “This is the best camp I ever had in my life.” (They have been to many camps every year in the Netherlands and abroad.)
Since the kids departed early last Saturday, they had no chance to thank and say goodbye to all the staff in person. Please forward our greetings to all the staff. It was an unforgettable experience for our kids. We are very grateful. Thank you. They probably will be back soon.
Hi Nick and Richard,
I just wanted to drop you and the team a line to thank you all for giving Byron and his buddies the best week ever.
They honestly had so much fun. I don’t think any of them knew quite what to expect and started off a little nervous, but by the end of the week, when we picked them up, they were buzzing with stories of what they did, the people they met, and of course your XUK team who made the whole experience what it was.
I’m so delighted to have been able to send them off on this adventure.
I hope you are all having a well deserved rest!!
Thank you so much!
