Bede’s is a great school and I recommend it! The teachers and staff are great and I liked my room and the house. There are a lot of nationalities so you can make a lot of friends! We had fun and the weeks went by really fast! Bede’s is the best summer school!
One of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Not only did I improve my English skills, but I also met a lot of amazing people who will stay in my memory for a long time. Every aspect of this summer school was perfect and I loved every second of it.
Bede’s is a good school to make new friends and to discover new places. This summer school is really good for people who want to learn. My favourite part was the research project because we got the opportunity to have more freedom from the format and the script.
