English with Water Sports
From Classroom to Coast: English and Watersports in Cornwall
Course overview
Our English with Water Sports course combines morning language lessons with active afternoons on Cornwall’s spectacular coastline.
After your English classes in our clifftop classroom at Wheal Kitty, you’ll head to Cornwall's best spots for guided kayaking, stand up paddling or surfing sessions. It’s an energising and social way to improve your English while experiencing the sea up close.
Our experienced partners, Koru Kayaking and Breakers Surf School will guide you through kayaking and surfing lessons right on the stunning coastline.
