LILA* Juniors

LILA* Junior programmes offer students aged 12–17 the chance to learn English and experience British culture in the heart of Liverpool. Our junior programmes are vibrant, supportive, and fully supervised giving students the perfect environment to grow, make friends, and ‘Love to Learn’. Available to groups only, students will mix with different nationalities giving them the opportunity to practise their English skills and make friends from around the world. Groups will have the opportunity to stay on Campus or in Homestay accommodation. Both offering a unique experience for students.

New this year, our junior programmes will have one session per week focusing on learning beyond the classroom. These sessions will include topics such as AI, leadership, teamwork and communication skills. We aim to create more than just an English course, we deliver a full cultural experience that helps juniors gain independence, learn practical life skills, and build international friendships that last a lifetime.
