Enrolment & Payment
at South Devon Steiner School, Dartington, UK
Applications are still open and accepted until 11/06/2023 !
Can I apply?
We look forward to receiving your application if you can answer ‘yes’ to these questions:
We have a limit of twelve students with any one mother tongue, with the aim of encouraging everyone to speak English.
Are you in Class 7-12 (age 13-17)? This is our usual age range. If you are younger than 14, please email before applying.
Do you have a basic level of English? Can you talk about your family, your school, your home town ...? We can not accept complete beginners–sorry!
Are you committed to speaking English when you are in England? We want all of you to improve your English. Therefore, you will be expected to speak only English during lessons, trips & activities, in your host family and during our camp weekend. If it becomes evident that a student is not willing to do so, consequences may follow (in rare but severe cases this may result in children being send home on their own costs).
Are you happy to accept our rules & behaviour guidelines? Check the Rules & Behaviour Guidelines.
