Feeling at home in England
At Swandean we create a friendly
atmosphere between teachers and students, and make sure that
new and sometimes shy students learn as much as their more confident
classmates. Your enrolment will be looked after by our Registrar
and her staff. They will send you confirmation of your course
and dates; the name, address and family details of your accommodation;
a map of the town showing the location of the school and accommodation;
and any other information you may need including travel arrangements
in England. Once you are here, the office is open daily to help
you with any requests, from opening a bank account to making
a dental appointment, from buying a travel ticket to booking
a theatre seat.
Work and play by the sea

| Worthing
at night |
Worthing, the location of
our year round school, is 1 hour and 15 minutes from London
by train, 45 minutes from Gatwick Airport and 2 hours from Heathrow
Airport. The town has plenty of shops, pubs, restaurants, discos,
parks and gardens, as well as 5 miles of seafront with clean
sea-bathing, a pier, theatre and concert halls and a wide range
of leisure and sports amenities. Yet it is a place where people
have time to talk and it is easy to make friends.
Our Brighton
summer school is in one of England’s most famous seaside resorts.
Brighton is 15 miles east of Worthing and 1 hour from London
by train. It has the elegance and charm of old England with
the splendid Royal Pavilion and the historic "Lanes"
full of boutiques, cafes, art galleries and antique shops. Brighton
also offers all the excitement of the modern day – with theatres,
cinemas, concerts, discos, ice-skating, pubs, restaurants, a
great choice of sports and social activities and one of the
longest promenades in the world
