Real experiences and feedback from our students attending leading summer schools across the UK.

Published at 12/13/2025 - 2 min. to read

International summer schools offer young people aged 9 to 18 the opportunity to improve their English during the holidays while gaining valuable international experience. Most programmes take place at leading British boarding schools, combining high-quality teaching with a varied and engaging leisure programme.

English lessons are usually held in small groups in the mornings. Afternoons and evenings are dedicated to sport, creative activities, excursions and shared events. This creates a supportive environment in which language practice, independence and intercultural exchange develop naturally.

Thank You for the Trust of Our Families

In summer 2025, we supported 140 families in selecting, planning and organising their summer school stays in England and Scotland.

Our personalised advice and individual support were awarded an average overall rating of 1 (excellent) – an outcome we are truly delighted with.

Why Feedback Matters to Us

Feedback from our students and parents is a central part of our work. It enables us to

  • recommend suitable programmes with greater precision,
  • continuously improve the quality of our advice, and
  • maintain close, constructive dialogue with our partner schools. Our aim is to recommend each child the summer school that best matches their personality, age and interests.
