It’s the last week of summer school, but there is still plenty of learning to do, activities to do and excursions to go on.
Learn English, but not only English
Core English lessons help students develop their language skills through a variety of engaging ways, many of which greatly benefit their personal skills too.
For example, they take part in class debates and discussions on complex issues such as international politics, gender equality and ethical tourism. Such activities are especially important in today’s age of rampant misinformation – it has never been more important for teenagers to learn how to think critically.
Another 21st century skill our teachers make sure students work on is creative thinking. At first, such a way of thinking may seem almost redundant in an ever growing market of STEM jobs, however that is exactly where creative thinking is most needed. If they want to help push the world forward, young people will need new ideas and ways to approach global issues.
We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

Lunch time!
Our chefs started off the week by revisiting the epitome of British dishes, fish and chips. With a nice desert, some vegan and vegetarian options, it made for a fantastic afternoon meal – just what we needed to tackle on the rest of our busy day.
Get Ahead introductions
Today, students meet their expert teachers and get right into their preferred activities.
Whether they chose something they’re already good at or decided to try something new, they will certainly learn a lot and get a perfect environment to improve their skills.
Evening is time to relax and have fun
At Club Time, students always have a choice of different activities. Today, they could get sporty and play rounders, a classical English game, or get creative and make lovely cushions.
A fantastic day to kick off the week, don’t you think? Let’s get some rest and do it all over again tomorrow.
