English For Families

A great advantage of ELC Bristol being part of the Clifton College Education Group is that parents can do an English language course with us while their children attend a holiday club for children aged 4-13 run by Clifton College. This is ideal for parents who want to study at ELC Bristol, while their kids have fun, mix with British and international children in the Holiday Club and enjoy the wonderful facilities of Clifton College, right next door to ELC in the beautiful surroundings of lovely, leafy Clifton.

Juan and his 2 sons came to study in Bristol for the summer. Juan improved his English at ELC while Pablo and Martin joined the Clifton College Holiday Club. Pablo, the older brother, loves tennis and Martin is a football goalkeeper. They had a wonderful time and plan to return for a second year!

Ruben, Laura and their 3 kids - twins Jacob and Carla (10), and Alexia (2) - had 3 wonderful weeks in Bristol. The twins joined Clifton College Holiday Club and Alexia joined Clifton Tots and they had a great time mixing with English children and having fun! ‘What a great 3 weeks!' said Ruben and Laura. 'It was so good to be able to study English at ELC while our children were busy, happy and well-looked after. We loved Clifton and we are looking forward to coming back again!'

Lourdes and her 3 children spent two fantastic weeks in Bristol. They stayed in a comfortable Airbnb accommodation close to the school. ‘It has been an unforgettable experience,' said Lourdes. 'From the first day we all felt super welcomed. The classes and activities have been great fun both for the children in the Clifton College Holiday Club and for me at ELC. The children said the holiday club was fantastic and their favourite activities were rock climbing and, of course, the games!'
