Family Programme 2022
Welcome to St Brelade’s College
St Brelade’s College was established in 1978 to provide English language courses to
visiting students of all ages. We are the only British Council accredited school in the
Channel Islands. The principles of the school remain the same today as in 1978 when
the school was founded; to provide relevant and motivating English lessons as part of
a comprehensive learning package.
We are a second generation, family-run language school and we understand the
needs of the family abroad. Our programmes are structured to encompass all
aspects of the stay, along with the logistics of synchronizing courses so
that parent and child can make the most of their time in Jersey.
The island of Jersey is a small, safe and welcoming place,
ideal for families. Jersey’s outstanding beauty appeals
to all ages and with such a wide variety of cultural,
scenic, sporting and social activities, there is
something for everyone.
