Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales.

Unusually, it gives people much needed experience of life outside the classroom, as well as

the opportunity to study for their exams. The students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and

come from all over the word, spend the morning studying. In the afternoon they go out and

do a really useful activity, such as helping on the farm, looking after people with learning

difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers.

One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from many

different social backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over two

years, grants are available.

A quarter of students are British, and many of those can only attend because they

receive government help.

“I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding among

young people", as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. ''You learn to

live with people and respect them, even the ones you don't like. During the summer

holidays my mother couldn't believe how much less I argued with my sister. "

To sum up, Atlantic College gives its students an excellent education, using methods

which really seem to work.
