Description

Whitby is a historic seaside town in the beautiful North York Moors National Park. Students live with host families and study together in our school building. Our social programme includes home visits, international evenings, sports, dancing and country walks. Whitby welcomes students and many friendships have been made here. The school has listening practice and computer facilities. As a Christian school we have a worship service each day and contacts with local churches, but Christian activities are optional and we welcome everyone.
