When you walk into a SKOLA school, you should feel our culture. You should see teachers talking calmly to students, students talking to each other and lessons that are engaging. We have three rules that we use for teachers and students to follow. They are to be ready, kind and safe. We ask that all students and teachers at SKOLA follow these rules.
Ready
Be ready for your lessons by being on time and by listening to your teacher
Kind
Be kind to yourself, those around you and your environment.
Safe
Be safe when on trips and during activities by following instructions.
SKOLA English In London is accredited by the British Council and is a member of English UK. Our excellent teachers help students develop their English in a variety of situations. In class, students focus on developing their spoken English through a series of language games, tasks and role-plays. Students have lunch and then either visit London's main museums and sightseeing locations or choose between sports or art activities. We have two hours of leadership lessons each week and all students deliver a presentation, in English, on Friday afternoon.

Town and Country
The Ultimate British Experience: Town & Country
Why choose between the historic energy of the capital and the majestic beauty of the English countryside when you can have both?
For students aged 10 to 14, the ultimate summer adventure combines the best of both worlds. We highly recommend starting with one or two weeks in London with your family, followed by one or two weeks at Uppingham School. This dual experience mirrors the historic seasonal rhythm favoured by the British elite for centuries—moving from the bustling heart of the capital to a grand country estate. We provide free chaperoned transfers directly from SKOLA Regent’s Park straight to the rolling hills of the Notswolds, where Uppingham School takes centre stage.
Choose a teacher and book a free trial. Then buy lessons at only £19 per 30 minutes plus a £5 booking fee.
