Our International Summer School

Every moment is designed to inspire and engage whether in the classroom or on exciting excursions.

Active English

At our summer school, students are immersed in real-world situations through our innovative Active English approach, using language and communication skills to solve practical challenges, primarily through film making and performing arts. 

At each level, they work towards improving listening, speaking, problem-solving, creativity, leadership and teamwork skills.

Student led activities

During the afternoon sessions, students can design their own programme from a range of sporting, theatrical and outdoor activities that encourage communication.  

This is another opportunity to immerse them in English, using specific vocabulary, honing their speaking and listening skills whilst having fun.
