What our students said about Cheltenham

It seems to be a little city, but there´s a lot to do there, the locals were very friendly, they organize meetings and you can be a part of them if you feel confident. I found always some interesting meeting or cultural event to visit. The surroundings are beautiful and everyone must visit them. You can also join to a sport club and keep with your healthy routine while meeting people.

5.0Angela Maria Mexico

Cheltenham is just the right size to get around easily and has very nice shops. However, the bus system is a disaster.

Information about Cheltenham

Why Cheltenham? Cheltenham is a town in England and home to the renowned Cheltenham Festival, a 4 day horse racing event held annually in March at the Cheltenham Racecourse. Locals have a reputation for being wealthy and respectable, and a short walk along the Promenade will give you a first-class view of their wonderful houses, shops and gardens. But it wasn't always this way, Cheltnam was just your average, sleepy town before the discovery of a mineral spring in the 18th century, it is to this that the town owes much of its air of gracious refinement. It still boasts many graceful Regency buildings, theatres and manicured squares and you can find fine art at The Wilson museum. Cheltenham is in a great location to visit the Cotswolds, lying just west of the hills of this much-loved range. Think of the Cotswolds as unspoiled rolling countryside, cosy little villages, authentic market towns and houses built from the range’s golden oolitic limestone.

Q&A - Questions about English courses and schools in Cheltenham

I am 63 years old and I can speak pretty fluent English, although I would like to improve my language skills in an adult course. Can you suggest anything?
“In Cheltenham, there is a program specially designed for mature students. English lessons in the morning where students will talk about the afternoon trip: they will go through the vocabulary, sentences, and expressions that they are likely to encounter. Trips to gardens, Cotswolds Villages, cathedrals, river cruises, etc.”
