Twin’s Ravensbourne English Summer School is right next to the O2 Arena based at Ravensbourne University in Greenwich. The centre is right next to North Greenwich underground station on the Jubilee line. There are also a number of London buses serving this area.
Students will be in the perfect position! There is easy access to shops, restaurants and markets. The area is known for open green spaces and large parks, and travel to Central London takes less than 20 minutes. Getting to Canary Wharf takes only five minutes and Waterloo is 15 minutes away.
The school is based in a brand new building, which won the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) award in 2011. Our English summer school offers a fantastic learning environment, modern facilities and bright, spacious classrooms.
Students will have access to some of the University’s great facilities, such as a the beautiful break area which is perfect for relaxing and socialising with friends.
Accommodation
Students staying at our Ravensbourne Summer Centre will stay with trusted and carefully selected homestay hosts or in a homestay provided by one of our partner organisers. This will give them the perfect chance to experience British culture and daily life in a typical British household. It also gives them the opportunity to practise their English outside the classroom. Students will usually share a room, giving them the perfect opportunity to make new friends!
At Twin, we carefully select our hosts based on the welcoming and safe living environment they provide. Our hosts have experience in welcoming students from overseas, so we know they know how to make students feel comfortable and will help them settle in. Students will leave the UK at the end of their summer programme with a varied experience and a greater understanding of life in the UK.
Students should remember to bring an adaptor (Europe to UK/Ireland) for all their electronic/charging needs.
