Devon School of English

The school was founded in 1971 and now the sons, all academics and linguists, are the directors of the school. They work hard to maintain the very highest standards in student education, activity programmes, accommodation and welfare.As an independent, family-run school, the stuff can react quickly to the latest developments in teaching and preserve that “personal touch” for which they are well-known. Understanding and satisfying an individual student’s needs and objectives lie at the heart of our approach to the learning experience, encouraging students to take responsibility for their own progress.

The Educational Policy

At the Devon School of English , they believe that language is best acquired when it is used meaningfully in situations that you can relate to and enjoy. Their courses aim to respond to your interests, needs and professional or academic contexts and are based on the belief that fluency comes from confidence and pleasure in the language and language learning.Emphasis is on the practical use of modern English - including its vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. Lessons help you improve and adapt your learning habits along with the skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing.They believe that your English learning extends beyond the classroom into your time outside of the school which is why we take great care to ensure that the social programme and your stay with local families form an important part of the curriculum and perform a significant role in your language learning.
