Small
school or large school? There are advantages
and disadvantages with both. At a small school, you will meet
almost everyone. The school staff will be able to devote more
time to you if you have a problem. It will feel like having
a new family! At a large school you tend to be more anonymous
and need to be more independent. There are usually more nationalities
but also more people from your own country. Large schools are
more able to place students of similar abilities together in
the same class - very small schools sometimes have to mix students
with different abilities. There are often more social activities
at larger schools but the activities are usually more mainstream
to cater to the majority. Small schools usually offer more unusual
activities.

An
old school or a newer school?
The age of the school has little influence on quality.
To guarantee quality, choose a British Council (BC) accredited
school: www.englishuk.com

What
are the class sizes?
Most schools have class sizes of up to 15 people.
In summer your class will probably be full. In autumn, winter
and spring, however, you can usually expect smaller class sizes.
Sometimes larger classes are better as teachers can use more
ways of practising language than with a small class. However,
one-to-one or two-to-one tuition usually has faster results
as the teacher can move at your speed and deal only with your
problems.
