“As a very well-respected name in the teenage language travel market, I have been familiar with Exsportise for many years. The company was founded in 1988 by Bram van Asselt, originally from the Netherlands, who arrived in England as a young man speaking very little English. As a hockey lover (and later, a top player) he sought out opportunities to play that sport in his adopted country, and by just by doing what he loved among the locals, his English improved very quickly on its own.
Exportise operates on this philosophy. Many young students go abroad to study English during the summer, and sometimes their only real interest at the time may be in a particular sport or activity. There are innumerable junior programs on the market that offer language instruction plus sport, but with Exportise, the focus is more on the sports training. It is one of the very few programs that hires real professional instructors, allowing students to truly perfect their game in a wide variety of sports, while learning general English and the terminology of that activity at the same time. Exsportise also offers students the possibility of not doing English lessons at all—if they feel that they have had enough formal language training at home, or are already at a satisfactory level in it, they can choose to do only a very intensive sport or activity training. Then, as with all of the highest quality junior programs, students from over 60 different countries attend its courses, and parents will never have to worry that their child will be surrounded by too many speakers of his or her own language.
Of Exsportise’s various campuses, the Worth School is unique for its exceptional beauty and facilities, and its location between Brighton on the South Coast of England, and London. For Rugby lovers, it is also the only of the Exsportise locations to offer training in that sport.”
