The School
The English Sunny School of Cyprus was founded in 2000 and it was the first international summer school in Cyprus. Our school has been offering English language learning to international students in Cyprus for 18 years. The school is based on the concept that lessons can be fun and interesting whilst being dynamic and educational too.
The school is located in Limassol, just before the Yermasoyia roundabout which leads onto the main motorway connecting the towns of Larnaca, Paphos and Nicosia. The school is situated a short walk (around 15 minutes) from the hotel, passing along the top of the Yermasoyia River valley with its beautiful views. Our teachers come to the campus to pick-up younger students and teenagers to walk together to the school. The beach is just a 15 minutes walk from the school.
Facilities: it is a modern school with bright, air-conditioned classrooms and a specialised computer room for study on the internet and for producing projects. There is a large reception area with a water tower and toilets and the classrooms are situated around this main area. Behind the reception area, can be found the large sheltered terrace, where students have their lunch.
Around the school: it is close to all facilities with supermarkets, kiosks and banks right on the doorstep.

Teachers
All the native English speaking teachers are fully qualified and have a lot of experience with teaching mixed- nationality courses. They are able to take full advantage of the inter-cultural potential of their students and they encourage co-operation and communication. Nationalities are mixed so that interaction in the lesson is always in English.
Teaching methodology
The ESSC Summer School prides itself on providing language courses for students of all ages and all levels. Emphasis is placed on learning through communication and co-operation so that students interact with each other through teacher monitored activities. Given that the world is changing and becoming ever more digitalised, we have incorporated a wide range of computer and online activities into our teaching programme. Students are encouraged to make use of digital devices to produce videos and projects which can be shared online through our social network sites.
Classrooms
The classrooms are all air-conditioned and have access to wifi so many of the lessons involve the use of the internet and the creation of projects.
Teenage classes with a maximum of 15 students, but there are usually less since students are allocated to a class according to their level.
The junior classes have a maximum of 8 students as, at this young age, learners require more direct contact with the teacher.
Adult classes with a maximum of 10 students, but they are usually small – 3- 4 students only. In the case where there is no class available, adults are offered one-to-one classes (10 individual lessons instead of 20 group lessons).
Welcome Pack
Students are provided with notebooks and pens for taking notes in class and with activity worksheets. Each student therefore has his own personal record of his stay at the school.
First day and last day
Students take a placement test soon after they arrive and are allocated to classes according to their level. All the students take a test at the end of their stay and they receive a certificate with their grade.
Timetable
Morning classes for juniors, teenagers and adults: 20 lessons per week of 50 minutes.
Monday – Friday from 9:00 am till 12:50 pm. There are two short breaks of 10-15 minutes to relax and socialise with each other.

Show details » Read more...The class was of 4 students in total.
Small class, with an extremely good teacher as teacher and pedagogue. A small group works well and the teacher has time and opportunity to pay attention to everyone. We rented the apartment near the school, 10-15 minutes' walk away.
I was satisfied.
I will recommend.
We were only 4 students in the class and this allowed the teacher to devote enough time to each of us. We mostly talked and that was very helpful. The school is outside the center of Limassol in a relatively quiet and peaceful area. I would recommend the school. Eirini was a wonderful teacher and I learned a lot from her.
