History
British Summer School launched in summer 2022, we aim to inspire our students
and develop the knowledge, abilities and qualities needed to fulfil their potential in
both their personal and professional lives. We increase our students’ ability and
confidence to communicate and operate in the 21 st century to help them become
happy, confident, and successful individuals in a global and competitive world. Our
portfolio is designed to be developmental and progressive, adapted to the age range
of each course. Student numbers, nationalities and language quotas are controlled
to provide a personal, intimate, and carefully managed experience for every student.
Sports
Sports and Leisure programme available every day.
Every day after lessons, students participate in a choice of different sports and
recreational activities. These sessions, which are organized and supervised by staff,
enable students to continue practising their listening and speaking skills while doing
something they enjoy (A list of activities can be found in our brochure page 62)

We select our teachers, coaches and facilitators very carefully to make sure that all students feel happy, engaged and energised in the lessons, as this is how they learn best.
