Malvern St James School, Worcestershire

Located in the picturesque town of Malvern, MSJ is nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the foot of the Malvern Hills. Founded in 1893, the school stands on the site of a former grand hotel. The result is accommodation much larger than the UK norm, whilst having the traditional qualities befitting a historic boarding school.

Over recent years, MSJ has invested heavily in modern conveniences, including a state-of-the-art sports facility and dining hall, resulting in a superb environment for a real quintessential English experience.

Immerse yourself in the beautiful greenery England has to offer with a Samiad summer at Malvern St James.

There will be twin, triple, and quad rooms with the same price regardless of room type. The room is equipped with bedding, single beds, wardrobe, bin, desk and chair, and a lamp. Students are housed by gender and, if sharing, will be with someone around their age.

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 2-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.

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

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.

For all ages

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.
