School description

About the school

English Sunny School of Cyprus was founded in 2000 and it was the first international summer school in Cyprus. Our school has been offering great English language learning to international students in Cyprus for 22 years. Moreover, The English Sunny School of Cyprus is an international department for foreign students of Xenia Tsolaki Metaxa Private Institute approved by Cypriot Tourism Organisation and accredited by ELSAC association.
All native English speaking teachers are fully qualified and have a lot of experience with teaching mixed- nationality courses. They are able to take full advantage of the inter-cultural potential of their students and they encourage co-operation and communication. Nationalities are mixed so that interaction in the lesson is always in English. The idea of school is based on the concept that lessons can be just fun and interesting whilst being dynamic and educational.

Location

Since 2015 we have had the pleasure to provide lessons at our new school premises. The school is maxed 25 min walk from the student accommodation. During summer seasons, we provide local transport. Next to the school site, there is a shop with snacks. The beach is just 5 minutes away by bus.

Classrooms

The classrooms are all air-conditioned and have access to wifi if the lessons involve the use of internet and the creation of projects. Students are often asked to create their own projects and presentation in groups to build their teamwork skills.
Adults have lessons in groups of a maximum of 12 students, young students 6-11 years old have lessons in mini-groups of 4-8 students. With teenagers, there are 11-15 students per class.

Welcome Pack

Students are provided with our company notebooks and pens for taking notes in class and with activity worksheets which are placed in files. Each student, therefore, has his own personal record of his stay at the school.

The first day and last day

Students take a placement test online before they arrive and are allocated to classes according to their level. All the students are graded based on a presentation at the end of their stay and they receive a certificate of attendance for their education.

Timetable

Morning classes for juniors, teenagers and adults: 20 lessons per week of 50 minutes (not 45 as many other schools so students have 100 minutes extra per week!)
From 9:00 am till 12:50 pm with 2 breaks.

"A wonderful experience, emotional and heartfelt!"

Sofiya Gospodinova, student from Bulgaria

The class was of 4 students in total.
Small class, with an extremely good teacher as teacher and pedagogue. A small group works well and the teacher has time and opportunity to pay attention to everyone. We rented the apartment near the school, 10-15 minutes' walk away.
I was satisfied.
I will recommend.

"I had a very nice time in ESSC"

Milena Goranova, student from Bulgaria

We were only 4 students in the class and this allowed the teacher to devote enough time to each of us. We mostly talked and that was very helpful. The school is outside the center of Limassol in a relatively quiet and peaceful area. I would recommend the school. Eirini was a wonderful teacher and I learned a lot from her.

"Very good private tutoring."

Patrick Uebelhart, student from Switzerland

The lessons were intense, progressive and adapted to my needs.
Very good contacts white Claire Baker, in charge of the courses.
I especially progressed in liesteningand understanding.
I have continue because we do not work miracles in 3 weeks.

I regret not having had the opportunity to take a group course.: This would have allowed me other exchanges.
Difficulty to immerse in Limassol because the Russian language is too present.

Thanks to the school it was possible tin the afternoon to do kite surfing for me pleasure.

I reached my 2 challenges : progress in English and begin in kite surfing.
