On Saturdays and Sundays after a well deserved long lie and breakfast, our students head off on full day excursions.

There are so many wonderful things to see and do in and outwith Edinburgh that it is impossible for us to show you them all.

Examples include , St Andrews (world famous for its golf), Glasgow museum and shopping, (official royal residence in Scotland), Stirling (cradle of Scottish history – Braveheart!) and East Lothian (Museum of Flight and picturesque Scottish landscapes).

Edinburgh is blessed with some of the world’s greatest tourist attractions and cultural experiences, some of which are only a few minutes from FC Edinburgh.

Each week, every class will visit two Edinburgh attractions with their teacher. Preparation work for these trips includes research, class discussions and worksheets which form part of our academic curriculum.

We truly believe that the combination of learning within and outwith the classroom offers students an overall immersion in the English language.

The teacher will lead their students around the attractions highlighting points of interest along the way before setting the students educational tasks and communication exercises.

Students love the opportunity to learn and explore these carefully chosen attractions and present their findings to their fellow classmates the next day. ACTIVITIES
