St Andrew’s College Language Schools has announced the expansion of its Short Stay English Language Teaching (ELT) programme for international school groups for the 2026–2027 academic year, alongside the creation of a dedicated operations team to support growing demand.
As part of this development, the organisation has appointed Rosario Russo as Mini-Stay Operations Manager, leading a newly established Mini-Stays Operations Team. The team will focus on strengthening operational efficiency, improving communication with partner schools and agents, and ensuring high levels of support for visiting groups and their leaders.
The expanded Short Stay ELT Courses for School Groups will run from September to June, offering students an immersive learning experience that combines English language instruction with cultural exploration in the United Kingdom.
Programmes will be delivered at six carefully selected campuses across England and Scotland, including University of Essex, Goldsmiths University, University of Greenwich, Cobham Hall School, Newbattle Abbey College, and City of Glasgow College.
Students stay in full-board residential accommodation on campus, allowing them to live and study in the same secure environment. Campuses feature controlled access, clear curfew policies, and 24-hour staff supervision, with safeguarding-trained teams providing strong pastoral care throughout the programme.
Courses can be tailored from four days to four weeks or longer, with students receiving 15–20 hours of English tuition per week. Programmes may also include preparation for Trinity College London examinations, as well as cultural visits, sightseeing excursions, and social activities designed to encourage real-life English practice.
The programmes are particularly suited to autumn school trips, spring study tours, and pre-summer cultural programmes.
Bookings for the 2026–2027 season are now open. While a new brochure and price list will be published later this month, schools and agents are encouraged to reserve places early, particularly for high-demand autumn and spring dates.
