It is ideal for students who are keen to experience what it’s like to study here for the first time, as well as for our current students looking to engage in inspiring materials away from the core syllabus.” Andrew J ames Sum mer S ch ool Coord i n ator

Student Reviews
“Social Sciences Summer School in Akademeia was a wonderful, enriching experience. It gave an interdisciplinary overview of the topic and enabled us to develop our interests further in a friendly, supportive environment. I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in social sciences who would like to productively spend a week of their holidays on personal and academic development!” Zofia Yea r 11 Stud ent
“The Natural Sciences course was a fascinating and educational experience. It balanced theory, practice and fun; we made essential oils out of plants we collected on the rooftop of our school, which we then used to make all kinds of soaps. To me personally the course helped me feel more comfortable in the lab and understand how science has so many practical applications. It also showed that Natural Sciences are everywhere-both in cosmetics and perfumes we use everyday! I would definitely recommend the course to all my fellow Chemists and Biologists but also to people who simply enjoy experimenting with different aromas.” Nathalie Yea r 10 Stud ent
