TEN - The English Network meet in Hungerford (click on the picture for full size)
The English Network is a group of schools in England who work together and recommend each other.
All the schools are independently owned and managed and pride themselves on the high standard of service they give to their students and clients.
Intern Marion Serre has made 3 great videos about TIS. She has really captured the spirit of the school.
Marion Serre from France has been working at TIS as an Intern for 3 months with us at TIS - studying English and making three short video films about the school.
Each film is short and gives you a quick idea of how it is to be a student at TIS and live in Torquay. You'll see some of our students, our class and meet some of the TIS staff too.
Well done Marion
Torquay International School is a founder member of English UK South West the association of British Council Accredited English language services in the South West of England. This association was launched in September 2009 and grew out of English in Devon of which Torquay International School was also a founder member.
St Michaels Student Residence - just 2 minutes walk from the School offers Study Bedrooms with Sea-views and wireless internet. Suitable for age group 21 - 30.
A wide range of age groups are expected all year round at TIS.
We notice each year that in the months from January to June we get more and more "students" booking who are in their 40's, 50's and 60's. This pattern is now progressing through the summer and autumn months too - for example we have just taken a booking for 8 weeks in the summer of 2010 for an 82 year old. Now that is young at heart!
