Our ‘English and Adventure’ programme is pretty intense so once a week our students have a few free hours to take a breather and explore Jersey on their own.

Normally this free time falls on a Wednesday afternoon, a nice mid point during the stay so that students can recharge their batteries, have some fun independently and explore the island on their own terms.

Following English classes on a Wednesday morning our students are free to decide how they want to spend the afternoon. There’s plenty to do in Jersey but here’s an outline of some of the possibilities in case you want to plan ahead:

Jersey has a fantastic conservation zoo which has been working hard for many decades to prevent extinction and recover populations of threatened species. You can check out their website here: https://www.durrell.org/

The Jersey War Tunnels is a fantastic underground museum which was adapted from an underground hospital built during the second world war. History fans go take a look: https://www.jerseywartunnels.com/

Or if you’re into castles we’ve got two to choose from: Mont Orgeuil Castle ( Gorey)  https://www.jerseyheritage.org/visit/places-to-visit/mont-orgueil-castle/

or Elizabeth Castle
