Program

English plus horse riding specialism

Saddle up for an unforgettable adventure with Samiad's Horse-Riding specialism, where they blend top-notch English language tuition with professional horse-riding instruction and stable management.

Whether you're a seasoned equestrian with your own trusty steed back home or a total newcomer to the world of riding, Samiad has programmes to cater to all skill levels. In collaboration with renowned equestrian centres, they've crafted a two-week journey that not only hones your English language skills but also forges global friendships.

At Samiad, students embark on a multifaceted equine journey, from the gentle art of grooming and tacking up to the adrenaline-pumping thrills of show jumping and countryside hacks. Gain proficiency in English as you master the intricacies of equipment, tack, and equine anatomy.

Join them for an equine odyssey that combines language, friendship, and the sheer joy of riding. Rest assured, safety is paramount. Samiad provides safety hats, but if you prefer your child to wear a body protector, kindly bring your own.

Giddy up!

Take part in every aspect of working at stables, from catching the horses, washing, and cleaning them to going on countryside hacks or even learning to jump for the first time. This programme is tailored to your ability while giving you the chance to socialise with other horse-loving students every afternoon.

English lessons

Immerse yourself in classes taught by a team of 100% native, TEFL qualified teachers.

The programme is designed to help students improve their English language proficiency through a variety of engaging activities and lessons. The experienced and qualified teachers will guide students through a carefully crafted curriculum that emphasises real-world communication skills, grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, and listening comprehension.

Samiad understands that learning a new language can be challenging, which is why they strive to create a supportive and friendly environment that encourages students to take risks and make mistakes. The teachers provide individualised attention and feedback to help each student achieve their language learning goals.

Other activities

As well as the dedicated horse riding and stable management time, students will also take part in a whole host of activities on campus.

See the sights

Samiad is most well-known for the exclusive excursions they offer as part of the programmes. They have carefully chosen the excursions to provide a blend of history, culture, and entertainment. Go home with memories that you can’t wait to talk about.

Samiad's famous overnight trip to London

It is simply one of the most famous and iconic cities in the world.

Oxford

Touring around Oxford and visiting its famous buildings and landmarks are great ways for visitors to learn about the city's rich cultural heritage and history. The University of Oxford is a particularly important part of the city's history and culture.

Punting is a traditional and leisurely way to travel down the river and see the sights, and it's a great way to relax and take in the natural beauty of Oxford.

A medieval experience at Warwick Castle

Warwick Castle offers a unique opportunity to step back in time and experience medieval England. The castle's immersive attractions, such as interactive exhibits and thrilling reenactments, provide an engaging and educational experience like no other.

Stratford-upon-Avon

Immerse yourself in the timeless literary heritage of the iconic playwright by exploring Shakespeare's birthplace, Anne Hathaway's cottage, and the renowned Royal Shakespeare Theatre.

The charming Tudor-style streets and picturesque River Avon create a quaint atmosphere that transports visitors to Elizabethan times. With its vibrant cultural scene, unique boutiques, and welcoming locals, spending a day in Stratford-upon-Avon promises a delightful blend of history, culture, and scenic beauty for teenage travelers seeking an authentic English experience.
