The Cultural Programme from Globe English Centre combines guided conversation classes as well as activities from their professional and experienced teachers. These activities take the form of excursions to Agatha Christie’s house and Torquay Museum, or tours of Exeter’s Guildhall and underground passages - just to name a few.
Most people sign up for this programme by themselves, but the school encourages people to sign up with their family members and take the course together if they wish.
