10 Tips: Choosing The Right Summer School
OUR ENGLISH LANGUAGE SUMMER COURSES 2019
We take great pride in our students' success rate in examinations. Having led the way in preparing students for the Trinity College exam, we now offer examination courses for the Cambridge FCE and for IELTS. Both courses run parallel to the Trinity course so that you'll have the opportunity to join in the afternoon and evening recreation programmes.
As well as a multi-activity afternoon programme, three of our schools offer specialist Academy courses that give you the chance to learn new skills from qualified instructors. Each course consists of 3 afternoons per week of 2 or 3 hours per afternoon, depending on the Academy chosen. On afternoons when the Academy option is not running, students join the multi-activity programme. Students can choose only ONE Academy course per week. Minimum A2 pre-intermediate level of English required for all courses except Robotics / Mobile App Design / Coding, which require B1 intermediate level. Courses subject to minimum numbers.
