School description

The school's excellent location and its full immersion programme provide a great opportunity to study English. Our programme concept is “Immersion in English at all times.” Lessons are highly intensive. Each student has 32 lessons (45 minutes each) a week.

Our Academic Programme:
LEARNING & ACQUIRING
In the morning (Learning) we teach English through EFL (English as a Foreign Language) lessons based on small groups of 7 students from the same age and same level (max. 10).
And in the afternoon (Acquiring), we teach skills in English, again in small groups of 7 students (max 10) from the same age and same level.
So two different approaches which combine very well and allow our students to LEARN English and ACQUIRE skills in English!

LINES Stowe has facilities that include a computer room with free internet access, study materials and a student lounge.

visa

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying in the UK for over 11 months, you will receive a reference number called a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) that you need to submit to the UK embassy along with your General Student Visa application. Students who have successfully booked a language course and have paid their fees will receive a CAS from STOWE. Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.

If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa. As a student visitor, you will not be able to work part-time while studying. If you plan to study in the UK for 11 months or less, a letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged £ 100 when you register.

Flights and airport transfer

Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to Stowe based on your budget, schedule and preferences.

Travel insurance

Study abroad worry-free with Language International's health and personal effects insurance coverage. When you book a course with us, you can opt to purchase an international insurance plan that covers not only your health care cost but also loss of your personal belongings. You must book your insurance in advance when you register.

Ask a question

"I have 2 prospective students from Italy who would like to study at LINES . The younger child is only 6 and a half. Is there a possibility that you could make an exception for the child to study at your school in this course? Could you send me some more information or an example schedule of the activities for the parents to see?"

Arno van Nieuwenborgh, LINES school representative

In Downe House, we welcome students from 6 to 19 years old. So we could welcome your students. The only problem I see is the dates as our UK schools open on the 06/07.
