What Families said….

What Families said….

We welcome students as young as 8 if they come with a parent (or both parents)! Of course, older kids still like to holiday with mum and dad and some just feel that little bit more confident with a parent around.

Here is what some of our parents and children had to say about coming to Melton College as a family!

"We appreciated that our children were cared for. It has always been a safe, confident and trustful environment."

Daniela + Christian:

As parents of two young college students, I appreciate that the teachers are very kind in adapting to the children’s language level and teaching the language in a joyful experience. Many excursions are organised. We appreciated that our children were cared for. It has always been a safe, confident and trustful environment.

Frederick (8):

I am proud that I was able to be a college student here at the age of 8, and take part in classes. If I didn’t understand something, the teachers were able to explain very well in English, and we also played a lot of games.

Christopher (11):

It was very nice and I plan to come back because I liked it a lot. Another reason is that you go on lots of excursions and they are very nice.

We absolutely loved our language trip to Melton College in York! It was an incredibly wonderful experience.

We absolutely loved our language trip to Melton College in York! It was an incredibly wonderful experience. Andrew and his team immediately and effortlessly catered to all our individual needs, making us feel right at home as a family. The kids simply adored Andrew and the other teachers from the first moment. The convenience of having the college right next to the guest house was fantastic; the kids could easily move back and forth, enjoy the beautiful gardens, and quickly find their way around.

Not only did they love the varied and engaging lessons with their enthusiastic teachers, but the afternoon activities were also fantastic. In the evenings, there was volleyball and table tennis, which added to the fun. My children and I are unanimous: WE WILL BE BACK!

It was really great and I had a lot of fun. We played some cool games in the lessons. The teachers were excellent and the food was delicious, yummy…It is just perfect at Melton College. Luisa (11)

It was great fun. I quickly made new friends. I especially loved the ice cream after meals and playing volleyball with Andrew. When I arrived, I could hardly speak English. Now, I can speak better and practice a lot until I am back at Melton College. Julius (9)

We really enjoyed our language learning holidays at Melton College!

An agency in Germany recommended that we book Melton College and it was a really good recommendation!

The lessons were well-tailored to the children’s needs. The teachers found various ways to encourage our children and make them curious and interested. Andrew found a perfect activity for our kids each day- you could feel the experience he has teaching and entertaining kids.

The activities for the adults were great too! We participated in the Gold Course and really enjoyed being taught by such enthusiastic teachers with so much experience. The lessons were interesting and often linked to arts, people and culture, politics and history.

We loved the atmosphere in York and at Melton College. Thanks to the team for two great weeks!

I want to come back next year to learn more English and to climb the trees! (Simon, 10)

During my stay at Melton College I felt very very welcome !

At the beginning I thought “Mum , Dad , why again to school ? I don’t want , school has just finished “ . But I was wrong.  I realized tha Melton is not like an italian school, it is hard to find in our school such a perfect combination of  big, beautiful green gardens, very good teachers and nice typical building. One thing I really loved was the afternoon short excursions and activities like boowling or minigolf and the nice trips outdoor on Sunday .

I was also happy for the nice friends I met who were kind and all good people from other countries .

In addition to this: all teachers are super good, patients and kind. Each lesson is super involving and it seems a bit like a game.

To sum up, it was a fantastic experience and I would go back to Melton again if I had the chance .

"We were most surprised that instead of relaxing, playing video games and watching TV, our sons asked us to let them study at Melton during the school holidays!"

Our 12 and 10 year old boys first took part in the Autumn Junior Course for 5 weeks at Melton College. They had a fantastic experience, learning through play and in a good atmosphere, while their language and pronunciation skills improved enormously. They also had a fantastic time during the afternoon activities and weekend programs. They loved the teachers and the school so much that we came back for the April course at their request. We were most surprised that instead of relaxing, playing video games and watching TV, our sons asked us to let them study at Melton during the school holidays! My husband and I have already attended the gold course in April and like the children, we have had a very good experience. Very nice teachers, interesting tasks and an exciting programme of activities. We re quite sure that York and Melton College will be a very nice memory for us!

"A beautiful experience."

I came to study English for the first time at Melton college in 1996, aged 25. Another 25 years passed and my daughters started having to study English. The first place that I thought of was Melton College, where I also returned with my daughter Viki to study English together and experience York and the many activities organised by Melton. A beautiful experience.
