Aktivitäten
Our unique approach, known as the Integrated Day, seamlessly blends classroom activities with afternoon and evening experiences. What students engage in outside the classroom informs and enriches their learning within it. As facilitators, our role is to empower students to actively participate in activities, using language effectively and with assurance. This integration of real-life experiences enhances language learning and fosters a deeper connection to the language and culture. Our students have activity choices in the afternoon between a sports or art and craft activity; tennis, football, dodgeball, ultimate frisbee, T-shirt printing, clay modelling, drama, dancing… etc.
In the evenings students work in teams to take part in activities that are linked to language revised in their morning lessons; Quizzes, Master Chef, Fashion Show, Debates…etc Through the activities international friendships are forged and memories are created.
Sprachunterricht
At Pilgrims our teaching methodology revolves around communicative competence, ensuring that our students are equipped with the necessary language resources to interact confidently in real-life situations. At Pilgrims, we firmly believe that effective language learning is not just about memorizing vocabulary and grammar rules but rather about developing the ability to communicate fluently and confidently in English. The heart of our teaching philosophy lies in the communicative method, emphasizing practical communication skills. We recognize that different student groups may have varying language proficiency levels, which is why we adapt our methods to cater to each individual’s needs. To cater to mixed-ability classes and ensure every student maximizes their potential, we have embraced project-based learning. Projects allow individuals and pairs to work at their own pace and level, while giving you the opportunity to provide focused attention to those in need. Moreover, the vibrant display of student work in the classroom transforms the learning environment into an engaging and motivating Pilgrims Classroom. Effective project outcomes are achieved through thoughtful setup and collective brainstorming, where students are encouraged to think creatively and critically. Sample project ideas, such as Class Profiles, Theme Park Planning, and Product Branding, inspire students to showcase their language proficiency and creative skills. Recognizing the importance of providing a holistic education, we place significant emphasis on Global Skills. In the current era, English proficiency alone is not sufficient. These Global Skills encompass essential abilities such as brainstorming, research, critical thinking, narrative construction, creative design, planning, advocacy, debating, presenting, and negotiating. Through theme-based lessons, we infuse these skills into our curriculum, empowering students to grow as effective communicators and global citizens.

The nearest airport to Pilgrims English Summer Courses is London Heathrow. Airport pickup is available upon request. Pilgrims’ parents provide the transfer information of their student once a booking has been made. Pilgrims provides them with names and details of the authorized staff that meet their students. Pilgrims airport staff wear Purple branded Pilgrims tops and are armed with authorization letters which allows the smooth transition for airport staff to hand over UM’s to them. The staff that meet them are also the staff at the school so the staff/student relationship begins from the airport.

parents were very happy with the courses because their children were very happy at Pilgrims. They say that they love when their children call them from Pilgrims and tell them all the things they are doing and how much fun they are having. Parents appreciate very much the bond created between them and between students and teachers. They appreciate how personalized is the support, and how much attention you give to the children.
Thank you, Pilgrims, too for igniting these sparks in our children! Please, let us know your course schedule for the summer 2024 as soon as you prepare it.
