4 STUDENT WELFARE Student Welfare The safety and well-being of students in our care is our top priority. All LSI centres work with local and national agencies to ensure that we maintain the highest industry standards in safeguarding and child safety. Students are supervised both in the classroom and on social activities. School staff are available to both students and parents at all times. LSI also provides trained welfare officers in all our schools to offer any additional support required by the students. Security is also a priority when selecting the right kind of accommodation for our Junior students. LSI homestays are carefully selected and regularly visited by a trained member of staff, while our student residences provide 24 hour supervision. In Canada, for students under the age of 18 travelling without a parent or guardian and coming from countries requiring visas to enter Canada, Canadian embassies may require custodianship forms. LSI offers custodianship services. To ensure student welfare there is a 10pm* curfew, unless students are on a supervised LSI activity. Valuables such as passports and airline tickets may be left with the centre manager on the student's first morning, to be kept securely locked in the school. * 9pm in the UK Student Welfare & Safeguarding • School Student Welfare & Safeguarding policies and procedures are evaluated by local accreditation agencies • Each school has dedicated Student Welfare & Safeguarding Officers • LSI homestays and staff are subject to background checks • Students have strict curfew times • The school has a 24 hour emergency telephone number • Students must sign a code of conduct. This ensures safety, enjoyment of the course for all participants and protects against bullying, both in school and on-line Please note, students are not supervised by LSI staff on journeys to and from school and on journeys home from activities.
STUDENT WELFARE 5 “I learnt a lot and had very good, fun teachers. I met students from many other countries and had a really good time at LSI.” MARIA JORDA GIRONES, SPAIN
COURSE INFORMATION 7 Courses for Kids and Teenagers Our language classes feature engaging activities that emphasise communication and the core skills (Speaking, Writing, Reading and Listening) whilst building knowledge of key grammar and vocabulary. Materials are designed specifically for kids and teenagers and offer interesting project based activities via a topic based syllabus. For language students aged 16-17 we also offer exam preparation in some centres (see our Young Achievers Exam Course). Classes are held in our modern school buildings. We also use the local city as a classroom. Many lessons are linked to activities where students interact with local people and learn about the history and culture of the location whilst they develop their communication skills.

8 HOMESTAY ACCOMMODATION Homestay Accommodation Our students stay with carefully selected host families in the neighbourhoods around the language school. Some hosts are further away, but commutes are generally simple and will be explained on the first day by homestay hosts. Meals are provided every day and laundry, towels and bed linen will be changed weekly. Students stay in twin rooms and are matched by age and gender. When possible, we match students from countries where different native languages are spoken. If we have an odd number of students booking twin rooms, it is possible that a student may stay in a single room for no added cost. If you would like to book a single room, this may be available at some centres. Please contact the school for further details.
