In 2026 we will offer a creative, social approach to language learning in the safe, welcoming environment of Holywood Steiner School.

Why choose AEL?
A creative, social approach to language learning
We consider every learner in their entire constitution -which includes cognitive, emotional, sensorial, behavioural, social, temperamental elements- and design our programmes to appeal to their multiple talents and capabilities.We aim to achieve our purposes through balanced activity-based programmes that combine creative, academic and outdoor activities.
Our “learning by doing” approach facilitates an effective learning process for everyone and a smooth social inclusion.
We prioritise the development of spoken English to help our students become confident in understanding, communicating and interacting in English.
Focused topics of grammar and language structures are taught as needed by our participants.
We engage the innate element of “curiosity” during our courses and do our best to keep it alive during their staying with us and in their future.
Hands-on & Learn by Doing!
Active
The word “active” in AEL not only refers to the many activities we offer, but to the learning process itself.
We encourage our students to think about what they have done, to explore and question taught topics and daily experiences. We aim to stimulate students to become the real creators of their own learning and eager to learn more while working together.
Doing so, they lift up their sense of responsibility and their social awareness.
Hands-on & Learn with Joy!
Creative
Creative workshops – typically arts, crafts, drama, music, dances, outdoor and other available activities- are “English in action” lessons and will help our students improve their understanding and communicating in English, discover their personal likes and dislikes, generate positive social relations.
Understanding & Speaking
Dynamic English Tuition
Understanding, speaking and actively communicating in English is our main purpose, so we warmly welcome students who are interested to release their potentials, regardless their English entry level or their background.
English contents will offer students the opportunity to lift up their language and communication skills in spoken and written English through a dynamic approach.
Rather than competitive learning we promote team-work, cooperative learning and inclusion also in academic moments.
