"English Country Schools is a great place for teachers new or experienced to spend a summer. The staff are extremely supportive, the resource bank is excellent, and you will have a lot of fun with the programme of activities, sports and trips. The motto of 'fun, friendship and learning' is no simple motif - it's an accurate summation of what ECS provides." Steve, teacher at ECS Port Regis, Summer 09
"The students´ command of English was remarkable. The children were pleasant and enthusiastic, and it was excellent to see them speaking in English to each other. The team games were great fun, and all the staff got involved. The school´s facilities were amazing - it was just a shame about the weather..." Edward, teacher at ECS Port Regis, Summer 09
"This was my third summer working for ECS. It's a great way to spend a working-summer; you meet some great people and also learn a lot - both from other staff members and students. A great cultural experience and a lot of fun!" Scott, Course Manager ECS Sibford, Summer 09
"ECS is a wonderful place to work with people of all nationalities and experiences where you have a lot of fun and grow as a person." Holly, Trainee Teacher ECS Port Regis, Summer 09
"ECS is a well-organised company whose 20 years experience is evident. The staff support and resources available are exceptional. It was an enjoyable and fulfilling experience working with them." David, teacher at ECS Sibford, Summer 09
"English Country Schools is an organisation that really does live up to its mission statement. Staff and students alike will find a fun, friendly and educational atmosphere. A great way to kick off the summer!" Emma, Sports Organiser at ECS Sibford, Summer 09
"Great children, fantastic location and wonderful facilities all helped to make my summer at ECS a fun and rewarding one! The experience it has given me has been invaluable as I start my PGCE course this year."Chris, Sports Organiser at ECS Port Regis, Summer 09
"Working at ECS was probably the best work experience as an adult so far. My best experience as a child was coming here as a student. It helps you growing up and become more mature and with the diversity of culture you learn so much more about the world and people in general than through reading a book or article about it. It's not a normal summer school, it's something more. You create different bond between the staff and yourself which is in many places very uncommon. As the children have fun, you have fun yourself. The students come here to learn English in a fun way, and that is definitely achieved during these fours weeks of stay. In the end of the day, the hard work you've put in, is totally worth it!" Caroline, ex-student and Junior Carer, ECS Port Regis, Summer 09
"I have returned year after year because the multi- national students bring so much talent and enthusiasm to the course. I have not only taught the pupils, they have taught me through their diversity of languages and cultures. A fantastic experience!" Andrea, teacher at ECS Port Regis, Summer 09
