About this program

Pollock Halls sits at the foot of Arthur's Seat, within walking distance of Edinburgh's Old Town — a residential setting that is hard to rival. Students aged 12–17 stay in single rooms with full board in this secure university complex, surrounded by parkland and fellow international learners. Fifteen hours of English tuition per week are delivered in well-equipped classrooms, while the activity programme capitalises on Edinburgh's extraordinary surroundings: guided walks through the medieval Royal Mile, visits to world-class museums and outdoor excursions into the Scottish Highlands. Levels from elementary (A1) to advanced (C1) are welcome. The programme runs from mid-June to late July, with bookings from two weeks upward. An ideal choice for families who value independence, security and a truly iconic location.
