Outside the classroom
Education extends beyond textbooks, which is why our programme offers a full activity programme in the afternoons and evenings. From team-building challenges to cultural exchanges, your child will develop interpersonal skills, resilience, and a global perspective.

In the afternoons, the students will join British students in our unique Progressive Skills in Action class, which sees students work together on projects and then present their work to the school. You can find out more about that here. We are one of the only summer programmes in the UK to have our own British students on the course and this is a truly unique proposition for international students.
