If you are aged 7-17 our experienced and inspiring teachers will give you an Academic Summer to remember.

We want you to feel confident about learning in a different environment and accept that not everyone learns in the same way whether you are a visual, auditory or kinaesthetic learner we have a teaching style that will suit you and bring your learning to life.
If English is not your first language, there is no better way to improve than through our teaching methodology - CLIL - Content and Language Integrated Learning. We integrate content (academic subject matter) and language development following the IB’s liberal approach to learning. Discovery and exploration are more highly valued than simply learning content. You will develop your competence in communicative use of English as an international language whether you are native or non-native speakers of English.
Our goal is that every student that comes to Academic Summer finds a love for education that will stay with them for life.
