Weymouth English Centre specialises in English language courses for teenagers aged between 13 and 17 from all over the world. Our courses are in Weymouth, a popular seaside resort on the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site in Dorset, in the southwest of England.

Students stay with carefully selected hosts. There are English lessons on weekday mornings and a full programme of activities in the afternoons, evenings and on Saturdays.

Our team of leaders accompany the students on all their activities. There are sports, visits to places of interest, a trip to London and much more ... and these are all included in the price. With our unique online programme planning system, you can plan your own programme of activities before you even come to Weymouth!
