  An all-round education depends on more than following the right school curriculum, and in this new complimentary publication the authors of The Good Schools Guide give hundreds of ideas and practical advice on extra-curricular activities for children aged twelve upwards. They have gathered together a vast range of interesting courses and ideas that can be followed by children of all abilities and interests, and which will banish holiday boredom blues forever. They also examine the range of educational options available at sixth form, which can include changing schools, moving to an English school abroad, following a correspondence course, or attending a tutorial college. Finally they present first-hand accounts and practical advice for those taking a year off, with hundreds of appealing ideas that include schemes for travelling round the world on a shoestring, working with Mother Teresa, sailing in a tall ships race, teaching English abroad, learning a language properly, or taking a course to learn the skill of your dreams.
