What else is new for Summer 2026?

1) More flexible study options

Empowering students by allowing them to build their own programme is something More Than English is well-known for. It has always been possible for our teenagers to choose a different afternoon Pro Specialism every week.

However, we’re now offering every child the opportunity to choose a different morning Subject or Sports Academy every week if they want to.

2) Karting School extended to 3 weeks

Following the popularity of Karting School in 2025, we are increasing the number of weeks of racing available from 2 to 3 weeks in 2026.

Led by racetrack champion Chris Powell and his team of motorsports professionals, this is the perfect opportunity for your child to learn from a champion in a safe and exciting environment.

3) New Sports Academies alongside British teenagers

There is no better way for international teenagers to challenge their English language skills than in a full immersion environment doing sport with British teenagers.

For 2026, we’re creating even more opportunity for British and international students to learn together with two new morning Sports Academies:

• Girls’ Football Sports Academy (mornings)
• Volleyball Sports Academy (mornings)

4) Creative Arts Pro Specialisms: now 2 weeks each

To create deeper, richer project outcomes, we’ve extended our Creative Arts Pro-Specialisms from one to two week projects:

• Film Making (2-week Pro Specialism)
• Dance, Musical Theatre (2-week Pro Specialism)

5) New green transport option with Eurostar St Pancras transfers included

In addition to our standard airport transfers from Heathrow (LHR) and Birmingham International (BHX), new for 2026, we are also offering a greener travel solution with free transfers to and from campus for Eurostar services between Paris Gare du Nord and London St Pancras.

To optimise logistics this service is only for specific dates and times: please visit our dates and prices page.
