• Course WOCAE Advanced English Certificate: Higher Intermediate;

• Course WOCPE Proficiency : Advanced.

Students are tested on the first Monday of the course and allocated to a class of an appropriate level. If a student arrives too late for the Monday test, the school cannot guarantee a place in the appropriate class for the remainder of the student’s first week.

Social Activities

The school offers a range of social programmes appropriate to its different courses. Students are encouraged to join in the social programmes organised by the school. They pay only for those excursions and activities in which they wish to participate.

Additional Charges

Charges for family accommodation are calculated for multiples of 7 nights. Students must pay the family’s charges for any extension of stay. The school will also pass on to students any bank charges incurred on remittances.

General Conditions

Limits of Liability. Swandean School cares sincerely about the welfare of all its students and makes its best efforts to assist them in resolving problems that may arise for them in or out of school. While, however, it does its best to help, it accepts no responsibility or liability in respect of deficiencies in the services of any third party which it may use in connection with its own services to students, nor for any injury, illness, damage, loss, delay or inconvenience howsoever occasioned to or incurred by the student.
