Among the language study programs offered by LEC, you can explore the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of a humble writer known as… William Shakespeare.
Stratford-upon-Avon comes out on top
Nestled in the heart of the stunning Bath and Cotswolds region of Great Britain lies a town of about 25,000 people known as Stratford-upon-Avon. This town, which, at first glance, had no reason to overshadow its prestigious neighbors until the 16th century (withOxford in the lead), unwittingly entered into legend in the spring of 1564.
The man who would go on to become the kingdom’s greatest playwright had just been born there. With LEC’s language study programs in England, you can immerse yourself in the legacy of the legendary William Shakespeare.
The legacy of one of the world’s most famous authors
Shortly before the end of the 16th century, at the age of 33, the famous playwright purchased New Place, a charming house in the heart of his native village. He lived there from 1610 until his death in 1616, imbuing the house and its surroundings with his unique aura.
Visit the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust
It would take nearly three centuries before the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, an independent educational foundation, acquired the former home of the author of *Romeo and Juliet* and offered fans of the playwright—and everyone else—the chance to get a glimpse of what life might have been like for this extraordinary man.
With LEC’s language study programs in England, your child can experience a blend of culture and entertainment while exploring the natural setting of the author best suited for the big screen. A truly unique experience!
