Through experiencing some of the UK's most prestigious campuses located in historic and celebrated academic cities such as Oxford, Cambridge, and Windsor, students have a unique chance to experience a summer learning adventure with an extraordinary impact.

Let's explore the incredible benefits that being part of Summer Boarding Courses can bring.

Becoming a Global Citizen

With an alumni of over 15,000 students from more than 150 countries, you will broaden your cultural horizons, learning from classmates with different world views. For so many of our students, this is the favourite part of their summer school adventure and a chance to make new friends from all over the world.

Global citizenship is important because it gives students a greater awareness and understanding of the wider world and their impact in it.

Complete English Language immersion

Through belonging to an international community you can maximise the amount of English you get to experience and use. Ensuring total immersion. If you are looking for the chance to boost your confidence, increase your fluency, and expand your word power then by attending a summer school you can only better your all-round performance in English.

University Preparation

So many of our students have had a transformational experience during their stay, creating profound momentum and a clear sense of direction with what they want to study at university. By combining professional experiences with learning styles such as seminars, tutorials and guest lectures, a style purposely designed to mirror university, you'll feel more prepared for higher education than ever before.

Gain Boarding Experience

Whether you are preparing to go to university or even about to experience campus life at a boarding school for the first time. Summer school is a wonderful introduction to the boarding experience. By sharing campus facilities, taking part in a fantastic range of activities, and enjoying communal dining...summer school is the perfect place to develop independence and feel ready for boarding away from home.

Experiencing Future-Focused Academic Subjects

With a whole range of academic courses, students have the opportunity to study brand-new subjects like medicine and law, that they might not be able to access at school. They'll gain first-hand insight into what studying their chosen subject is like in further education, empowering them to make informed decisions with their future studies and even their choice of career.

“My experience here has helped me a lot with my academic progress, firstly because medicine is not something I can study in high school and it is what I want to pursue at University and I was able to have an overview of what I want to do in life. I got a deeper knowledge of specific subjects like biology and chemistry. We also had lectures from professors and other med students that helped me understand how my life could be in a year's time.”
