2017 JUNIOR SUMMER COURSES

A perfect summer Overview

UK USA

WELCOME The perfect summer experience

Options for all interests

With over 30 years’ experience of running summer schools for young people from all over the world, Kings has given thousands of students a summer they’ll never forget. In 2016, we were delighted to welcome students from more than 55 different countries.

At Kings, our summer courses are both structured and fun. This way, our students are happy, enthusiastic and motivated to learn. We offer courses for juniors and teenagers, all of which comprise a mix of English, activities and excursions.

To give our students the best possible experience, we make sure all our summer centres are in ideal locations, with excellent facilities and highly-motivated staff. In 2017 our students will be able to choose from seven Residential Summer Centres and four city-based Vacation Extra centres — including our new Brighton location.

Our programme range includes:

We pride ourselves on offering plenty of individual support and attention, and ensure that each child’s safety and well-being are always our top priorities.

The variety and flexibility of our courses allow us to cater for a host of different needs and interests, and in 2017 we will be adding to our programme range with an American University Taster Program in New York. This exciting new course will give our students the opportunity to enjoy lectures on areas of US education and culture, and to visit some of the world’s most famous universities.

We look forward to another great summer ahead.
