Join our school of English in Torbay
Learn English at the very heart of the English Riviera, Agatha Christie’s birthplace. Paignton’s sandy beaches, Brixham’s fishing port and Torquay’s busy town centre with a great nightlife means you can enjoy the sun and go shopping during the day, then feast on fresh fish and party into the night, all in one day! That’s Torbay!
With our recently renovated school in the heart of Paignton, Torbay truly has something for everyone. Water park, beaches, history, summer fun fair, go kart racing, pubs, clubs, restaurants, you name it, we have it. Almost as far south as you can go, with the best temperatures in Britain, your umbrella will not see very much action.
In and around Torbay, you will be mesmerised by the beautiful scenery and nature, with the world famous Dartmoor on the doorstep. If you prefer the urban life, the historic cities of Plymouth and Exeter are within easy reach, while a day trip to Bath will bring the Romans and Jane Austen to life, before your very eyes. You see? LAL Torbay is the perfect place to spend your language holiday.

Hunters Lodge is a traditional student accomodation building and the experience of living in this residence is recommended to any student studying at LAL Torbay.
The English course is really good and I have the feeling that I am learning a lot here. The teachers are very lovely and give a lot of attention to the students so that I almost feel like I am in private lessons. I like Hunters Lodge because it’s a great opportunity to really get to know new friends from other cultures and to practise English outside the school.
My favourite place in Boston is Boston Common. It is so relaxing and you can see animals and sit on the grass and be relaxed. Boston is an amazing city actually for me. It is so safe. I like to go to Harvard. It makes me feel so motivated.
Living and studying in Cape Town was amazing. It’s impossible to describe everything I learned here. It’s not only about learning English, it’s about different cultures, styles of life and making friends. I will miss everything and everyone here.
I feel ready to take and pass my TOEFL test thanks to four weeks of intensive work. Our teachers, made sure that we knew everything about the TOEFL test and gave us specific feedback on our progress and proficiency.
We went on lots of different activities and visited many places but the most beautiful for me were Xlendi and Mgarr ix-Xini as they are also the nearest beaches without any tourists. This small island and the school are a good combination for studying and having really nice holidays.
My favourite place in Cape Town is Lion’s Head where I can walk from the school. I’ve been there several times for the sunrise and sunset, which have, incidentally, been some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets in my life.
