Social Action Policy
Here, Because We Care
Why Does an English Language School Need a Social Action Policy?
Every business should have a Social Action Policy.
Particularly businesses with a physical space in their community, because they have an impact on it.
(Education businesses should also have a Philosophy of Teaching, you can read ours here.)
Read this page to discover how this independent language school in Britain gives back to its community.

English Language, Differently
From the start of our business, we have sought to model positive alternatives to traditional language schools and change the ELT industry to better help English language learners.
Our language teaching methods are uniquely designed around our clients’ needs. (Most language schools fit you into a preexisting course).
We put opportunities and benefits into our local community as we grow.
(And believe all businesses should).
Culture-Led Immersion in English
Our language school holidays feature the beautiful Scottish region, Perthshire – and the artists, makers and producers within it.
As our English language school grows, opportunities for locals increase too – including remuneration opportunities for local artists, guest experts of all kinds, and homestay hosts.
We want to grow in harmony with our planet and community, wasting as few resources as possible.
Choosing to learn English with us is a big step towards ensuring your travel to Scotland has a positive impact.
Waste Nothing!
We offer free meeting space for selected artist collectives, community groups, social enterprises, and startups
This meets our social objectives.
This also makes your English immersion holiday experience stronger too.
Your English will flourish from having people to meet and converse with.
This is unique!
There’s no other language school in Britain that helps improve your English in this way!
