Typical 10-day Course timetable…
Each Student or Family Group is encouraged to decide on the ‘balance’ ofstudy time to holiday activities. Our recommendation is to study in the mornings and relax in the afternoons and evenings but this may vary from day to day, depending on what holidays activities/excursions are planned.
However, a typical 10-Day (recommended) Course Timetable might include the following elements:
Colour code = Black for travel and tuition time
Green for meals and refreshments
Red for excursions and social conversation time
Blue for personal time
