Go back to school – EasyJet inflight magazine feature

“Don’t tell me how educated you are, tell me how much you have travelled.” - The Prophet Mohammed

News of our inspirational learning holidays is flying all over the world again this month, in EasyJet’s inflight magazine! We believe in travelling AND in getting an education at the same time.

Here’s your class schedule. Don’t lose it.

(Italics their words, non-italics our additions. Independent schools don’t have to follow the National Curriculum exactly, you see.)

Go Back to School

Even if you’re not returning to the classroom this month, you can still learn as you travel by signing up to one of these courses. 

Monday

Science: Leave the textbooks at home and head to Grasse, France’s scent capital, for a sweet smelling, practical lesson in perfume making. Fly to Nice. 

Music: Advance from playing the same old pop styles. Inject the fiery flamenco spirit into your guitar playing with this flamenco guitar holiday in Spain. Fly to Seville, San Pablo or Jerez.

Tuesday

English: Channel your inner JK Rowling at this brand new yoga and creative writing holiday near Rome. The peaceful pedestrianised village of Casperia and relaxing yoga classes are sure to get your creative juices flowing. Fly to Rome.

Games: From the moment you catch your first wave you will be hooked. Great fun, hip hangouts and laid-back Spanish vibe on this surf holiday at Costa de la Luz. Fly to Jerez, Seville or Malaga.

Wednesday

Art: Finesse that brushstroke while enjoying the best of nature on this six-day paint safari across Andalucia in Spain. One for the top set. Fly to Almeria. 

Craft: Time for some electives. Pick from jewellery making in Toulouse, mosaics making in Murcia and silversmithing in Rodez.

Thursday

History: Anyone who says history is dull has obviously never tried their hands at a two-hour Roman gladiator combat training course. Fly to Rome. 

Languages: Learn a lingo in the country where it’s spoken to fully immerse yourself. If that doesn’t get you an A* nothing will. Various destinations. 

Friday

Cookery: Forget baking fairy cakes – on a Provencal cooking course you can master fine dining with a Michelin-starred chef. Fly to Marseille. As homework, practise Italian pizza making and French pastry baking.

Independent study: Delve further into a passion of your choice. Pick from the list of inspirational learning holidays at GoLearnTo.com.

Following this course schedule will make you well-travelled and well-educated. Are you ready to get back to school?
