Skool Cornwall

Skool Cornwall is an adult only English language school providing small scale language courses and learning holidays. We teach in small groups and limit our class sizes to 6. Our mission is to provide unique language experiences to individuals drawn to explore. Our students walk with us, surf with us, and discover with us. And we provide the conditions: fewer students, more personal attention, and a beautiful location. Skool is situated in the historic remnants of an old tin mine’s engine house in Wheal Kitty next to St Agnes, a picturesque village on the north Cornwall coast which is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a Designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A few steps from the classroom, magnificent granite cliffs mark the edge of the earth and the beginning of the wild Atlantic Ocean. “A great experience and for me the best imaginable way to improve my English.” Susanna, Bonn. We encourage a practical approach to English language. We explore grammatical issues and exceptions, but we believe in the practice of speaking English. We foster personal relationships and will tailor our teaching to you. We offer English with Walking, English with Water Sports, English with Arts and Culture, and of course – a General English course. Skool is beginning its journey in becoming a sustainable language school. We aim to act responsibly and make a positive impact on the environment and society. In 2022, we're teaming up with local sustainable businesses and will be running new small scale courses in May that marry with ideas of sustainability: English with Sustainability, English with Artisans, and English with Wellbeing. We’re going to make language travel count.
