Excursions and leisure activities take learning outside the classroom.

Specially trained teachers of the humanities, sports or science deliver this element of the programme. 

Students experience the many world-famous London sites and also from further away: 

• Westminster, Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square
• A West End Musical 
• The BritishMuseum: The vast collection of artifacts and cultural objects from around the world
• Covent Garden: local and ethnic culture as well as street performances 
• Globe Theatre: Interacting and working with professional actors. 
• St Paul’s Cathedral: a world famous architectural design by Sir Christopher Wren 
• Cambridge: Visiting a famous College and exploring the town.
• Hampton Court: a favourite of Henry VIII (I don’t like to find another description) 
• Windsor town and viewing Eton College (flight time permitting)
  

Our boarding schools provide secure, comforting, and nurturing environments that actively support learning while offering exceptional facilities. Students thoroughly enjoy the immersive experience, engaging throughout lessons, workshops, excursions, and evenings. Outside the classroom, Excel Academy organise a diverse range of enjoyable activities that enhance English communication skills, foster relationships, promote leadership, and encourage independence. This perfect fusion of educational and recreational activities leads to a remarkable enhancement in confidence and English fluency within a brief period of time.



 Furthermore, students relish the vast green spaces and value the personalised academic guidance offered by our qualified teachers in the evenings. Our teachers ensure 24-hour care by residing in the same boarding house as the students, fostering trusting and genuine friendships. Excel Academy's residential programs are hosted in highly prestigious boarding schools, including Epsom College and Tonbridge School.
