SUMMER SCHOOL

SUMMER SCHOOLS IN THE UK

A summer school is a wonderful opportunity for students to experience life in the UK, make new friends, develop new skills and enjoy their summer.

Summer programmes are not only for students who want to improve their English. We work with a range of summer schools offering languages, sports, arts, academic subjects and specialist programmes.

We can help you find the right programme based on your child's age, interests and goals.

SUMMER SCHOOL OPTIONS

ENGLISH LANGUAGE

English language courses help students improve their speaking, listening, grammar, vocabulary and communication skills in a friendly English-speaking environment.

Students usually have lessons for part of the day and take part in activities, sports and excursions for the rest of the day. This gives them the opportunity to practise English naturally while enjoying their summer.

LANGUAGES

Students can also learn or improve other languages, including:

Spanish

French

German

SPORTS

For students who enjoy sport, we can offer specialist and activity-based programmes such as:

Football

Tennis

Swimming

Basketball

Golf

Hockey

Horse riding

Watersports

Adventure sports

Professional and specialist football programmes are also available for students who want more intensive training.

ARTS AND CREATIVE PROGRAMMES

Students can develop their creativity through programmes such as:

Art, painting and drawing

Ballet and dance

Performing arts and drama

Photography

Film and animation

Baking and cookery

ACADEMIC AND SPECIALIST PROGRAMMES

Summer programmes can also combine education with students' interests. Options may include:

STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics

Critical thinking

Essay writing

Public speaking

International relations

Management

Academic preparation

Pathway to Higher Education

Other specialist programmes are also available.

RESIDENTIAL OR HOST FAMILY

Depending on the programme, students may have the choice of staying with a host family or in residential accommodation.

A residential summer school can be particularly useful for students who are considering a UK boarding school in the future, as it gives them the opportunity to experience boarding life before making a decision.

ACTIVITIES AND EXCURSIONS

Summer schools offer much more than classroom learning. Students can take part in sports, creative activities, team games and social events.

Many programmes also include excursions to popular UK destinations and attractions, giving students the opportunity to explore the country and experience British culture.

A SUMMER TO REMEMBER

Summer school is a chance to learn, have fun, become more independent and experience a new culture in a safe and supportive environment.

Whether your child wants to improve their English, learn another language, develop a sporting talent, explore art or prepare for future studies, Shell Education can help you find a programme that is right for them.

We can recommend suitable summer schools based on your child's age, interests, ability and goals.
