Each school day is divided into 3 lessons, beginning at 9am, and ending at 1pm - which leaves plenty of time to surf some waves and see the sights. We focus on the 4 skills of language; namely speaking, listening, writing and reading; and each day's lessons consist of both skills practice, and course-work. General English is perfect for all levels - from Beginners, to Advanced.
