Fettes Centre for Language and Culture

Based at Fettes College in its unique and inspiring location just one mile from the historic and cultural centre of Edinburgh, FCLC offers the perfect setting for an educational, developmental and fun learning experience.

At FCLC we offer two intensive summer programmes. Our Young Learner programme is designed for children aged from 10 to 13 years old and our Young Student programme is for those aged 14 to 17 years old. FCLC’s aim is to help students build the confidence to use and improve their English throughout the day, both in and out of the classroom. 

Students receive 20 lessons (15 hours) each week of English classes, taught by qualified teachers.  Throughout the academic programme, the emphasis is on activating language by helping students improve their fluency through varied activities that make learning both interesting and fun!  

Learning continues outside the classroom in the cultural programme as students are encouraged to speak in English while taking part in the activities and excursions which are organised in the afternoons, evenings and weekends. Our students experience Scotland’s rich culture through excursions to Edinburgh Castle, the Wallace Monument (of Braveheart fame!) amongst other places and through events like the Scottish Highland Games and our traditional music and dance evenings.

Students stay in traditional boarding houses on the campus which are small and comfortable. Each accommodates around 50 students plus residential staff who provide 24 hour supervision.  Students stay in single, twin and multi-bedded rooms.

Looking after the students in our care is our number one priority. Our students have the chance to experience Scotland, to learn and enjoy wide-ranging activities within the safety and comfort of a well-organised and properly supervised programme which is recognised and registered by the British Council.
