Welcome to Redbridge College

Our School
Redbridge College is in the centre of Bath, just five minutes from the train station. We have ten bright classrooms, a student cafe, and a lovely garden where you can sit and have lunch. Our computers and free Wi-Fi help you study, and our library is open every day from 8am to 6pm. The friendly staff at reception can help you with any problems, and they speak many languages.

Courses
We have English classes for all levels. Classes are small - only 12 students maximum. Lessons are from Monday to Friday, 9am to 3pm. You can study for 2 to 8 weeks in summer. Every Wednesday afternoon, we have special classes about British culture and life. Our teachers are all qualified and have many years of experience teaching international students.

Our Town
Bath is a beautiful small city with lots of history. You can walk everywhere easily. There are many shops, cafes, and restaurants near the school. The famous Roman Baths are only ten minutes away. You can swim in the modern Bath Spa, visit museums, or walk in the parks. The city is very safe, and local people are friendly and helpful to students.

Where You Live
You can stay with a local family or in our student house. Families provide breakfast and dinner, and you can practise your English with them. The student house has single and shared rooms, a big kitchen, and a TV room. All accommodation is within 20 minutes' walk from school. We check all our host families carefully, and many of them have worked with us for many years.

Activities
We organise something fun every week. You can join our sports club, movie nights, or weekend trips to London, Oxford, and Bristol. In summer, we have barbecues in our garden and evening boat trips on the river. Every Thursday, we have an international food evening where students cook food from their countries. Our social programme is included in your course price, so you don't need to pay extra for most activities.
