Looking after the students in our care is our number one priority. By providing a carefully planned, well-organised and properly supervised programme, we do our utmost to promote our students’ safety and welfare at all times.

Our Student Welfare Managers and residential staff are responsible for supervising students throughout the day, during all activities, excursions and in the boarding houses. Additionally, the General Manager has a 24-hour emergency contact number during the six-week summer school.

Immersion is the key to learning a language and what better way to do this than to visit FCLC Edinburgh and experience our unique programme and level of service that are second to none. By linking the academic and cultural elements through our weekly themes, we ensure every part of our programme offers our students many and varied opportunities to communicate in English in meaningful ways, thereby making them more confident users of the language.

There is a theme for each week, which the academic, cultural and activity programmes are centered around. For example, one week it will be Tales of Mystery and Imagination with activities such as a Fettes College Ghost Tour and a visit to Greyfriars Cemetary while another week it will be Around the World in Eighty Days, which will feature our exciting international evening, where students present their cultures to the rest of the school.
