Course Description

The ETC Junior Programme is back in 2026! One of our most popular programmes returns better than ever for students aged 14-15 years old. Study English with other junior students as part of an all-inclusive package of tuition, accommodation, trips and meals.

The Junior Programme is excellent value-for-money. Lessons take place in the mornings from 08:45am to 12:15pm. Activities and trips take place after lunch. Student welfare is our highest priority, helping students enjoy their programme and make the most of their stay in the UK.

What We Do

Includes:

DBS all staff and homestay providers
Require all staff and homestay providers to do a safeguarding course specifically designed for Language Schools
Take the safety of all students at ETC seriously
Follow government and BC regulations
Have close and remote supervision in place for under 18’s
- Close supervision is when students are with an ETC member of staff during an activity or lesson.
- Remote supervision is when students have an activity such as shopping. The activity leader will be in a designated spot that is known to all the students whilst the students shop in small groups
Have a variety of accommodation so that parents can choose how much unsupervised free time they would like their child to have.
Issue all students with an ETC Identity Card which has the ETC Emergency number on it so students can contact an ETC member of staff 24/7.

Curfew Times

16 – 17 year-olds will only be allowed unsupervised free time if this has been agreed and signed by parents before arrival on the Parental Permission form.
16 and 17 year olds must be home by 10pm. You must give your homestay or the Accommodation Manager the details of where you are going, who you are going with and how they can contact you in an emergency. If you are going to an activity or in the care of your group leader, please make sure that your homestay has been informed.

Please note that curfew times cannot be extended and if 2 junior students want to stay in the same homestay, but they have different curfew times due to their ages, the older student must abide by the younger student’s curfew time.
