Last week, I went to visit. Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales. Unusually, it gives young 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 many countries, spend the morning studying. In the afternoon they go out and do
a really useful activity, such as helping on thefarm, looking after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in
river.

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 year, grants are available. A quarter of the students are British,
and many of those can attend because they receive government help.

“I really admire the college for trying to encourage the international understanding among young people”, as Barbara
Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. “You learn tolive 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.”
