6.1 English For Education
Two Friends
This is a fun, stimulating summer programme featuring weekly projects. Each week the students learn English through a topic, such as Theatre and Performance or Past, Present and Future. In addition, students learn English through subjects including
Maths, Science, Technology and Drama. All learning is connected to the topic, as well as the weekly ‘Discover London’ academic excursion. There is one afternoon of sports per week, as well as an optional lunchtime sports programme. Students will develop
General English Skills, Communication Skills and Academic & Study Skills as well as having a lot of fun in and out of class.
Students are divided into classes by age group (10-14 and 14-17) and by level (beginner to advanced). Minimum stay 2 weeks. 25 hour programme (including academic excursions and sports). Our teachers are language and subject specialists with experience of working with 10-17 year old students.
6.2 Parent & Child
Girls Studying
The course gives an opportunity for both Parents and Children to study at the same time in central London. Parents of children aged 10-17 can study in either Soho or our special summer school at Baker Street, which is a short bus ride from this school.
"My children had the best time of
their lives! Because they got to meet
a lot of different kids from different
countries, and I liked the part where
the kids can only speak English and
cannot use their mobile phones! All
your staff are very nice and always
ready to help with anything!"Parent Name: Haya
