At BLS we run a year round adult centre and two seasonal junior centres. We accept students from the age of 10+ at various times of the year both as individuals and as groups. For dates of school holidays please scroll to the bottom of the page.

Perhaps you have a particular reason for studying? You may have an exam you would like to sit now or in the future? Let us know and we will do our best to help. We aim to support and advise you from start to finish.

Before you arrive or on your first day in school you will be sent an English language test which will help us to choose your class to make the most of every minute.

You will have daily homework and weekly progress tests so we can check your progress and help you achieve your goals.

We want you to be happy and the BLS Team will do everything we can to make this experience as positive as possible.
