Introduction
The best way to learn English
We believe that learning English should be about more than just sitting in a classroom.
Lessons are vital – but it's just as important that you practise your language skills, and learn by doing.
We've designed our course to help you improve your English quickly and in a way that is relevant to modern life. You will learn not only in the classroom from expert teachers, but also through a large range of activities, workshops and trips all connected to your lessons.

Improve – and have fun
Unlike many Summer Courses, ours does not make a rigid separation between work and entertainment.
One day you might be visiting the BBC studios to learn about British journalism; on another, you might be learning to write a film script.
... Or perhaps visiting the Natural History Museum and taking part in a debate about Darwin and evolution ... Learning how to write a great speech ... Answering questions in a quiz about the UK Media ... Creating your own fashion line ...
Because it's so much easier and more effective to learn when you're enjoying yourself, too.
