Here at Falcon Summer Language Adventures we specialise in providing Super-Intensive English Language courses for young learners, aged between 8 and 13, coupled with a culturally enriching and adventurous activity programme specifically designed to enhance the learning process.
Based at Giggleswick School, which is one of the UK’s finest and most historic boarding schools with a rich history that dates back over 500 years! We welcome international young learners aged between 8 to 13 to join us for an idyllic, traditional and unforgettable English summer school experience.
British boarding schools have long since held a worldwide reputation as exceptional institutes of learning based in the most beautiful and desirable parts of Great Britain. Here at FALCON Summer Language Adventures we make it our company mission to provide international young learners with the opportunity to experience that for themselves.
Based upon experience we firmly believe that the combination of intensive English language classes, culturally enriching excursions and an adventurous activity programme is the optimum format for a successful young learner course.

The Summer Programme at Falcon
The academic programme at Falcon is defined as super-intensive, meaning 22 hours of taught tuition per week Skills covered include: Receptive & Productive Vocabulary Spoken Performance Listening & Grammar Pronunciation Presentation Creative Writing Common Usage Reading All Falcon teachers are CELTA/TRINITY qualified with a minimum of 2 years experience.
English Friends
The "English Friends" Experience is another unique feature that we believe distinguishes Falcon Education from many other summer school companies.
Learning English in a classroom environment is a must and is most definitely the foundation of our course. Also, practising with other international speakers is again superb for development. However, there is something quite different and rather special about observing an international young learner trying to communicate with a native English child of a similar age to themselves.
Here at Falcon Education we provide that experience, which is designed to take your childs language skills, comprehension and pronounciation to another level.
At least twice a week we arrange for our young learner course to share an evening task based activity session with a group of local English children of the same age range. The students are divided into teams with an equal mix of international and English children. The teams must then work together in order to successfully solve a number of tasks and puzzles designed to enhance their English skills.
