- Summer English courses
The duration of the course can be from 1 to 4 weeks - each student makes his own choice, relying on his own abilities, desires and academic goals. The program is available for booking both for individual students and for educational groups that plan to come together.
Every week 15 full-time academic classes in small groups are offered to the attention of students - up to 15 people in each. Such intensity of studying allows not only to achieve rapid progress in learning English, but also leaves enough time for rest and leisure. A small number of students in the classroom helps the teacher to give each student a proper amount of attention, carefully monitor academic progress and successes: each group has an experienced highly skilled teacher. Also, when forming classes, the national composition is taken into account: the more nationalities are represented in the group, the better - such intercultural practice helps pupils to quickly overcome the language barrier, to find friends from all over the world. The children and adolescents from 9 to 17 years are admitted to school.
- Trinity Examinations
We offer students the opportunity to pass the Trinity College Oral Examinations (GESE) to get a qualification in spoken English. These exams are authoritative among educational institutions in many European countries. Our experienced EFL teachers test students, distribute them to appropriate levels and provide an additional five hours of intensive spoken English each week. Students are fully prepared for oral tests, which are conducted by an external examiner Trinity.

Review about Brunel University Children's Summer Camp
What you need for a summer holiday is a great program for teenagers in London.
We took last year's “Discover London” course: non-stressing lessons, a lot of excursions and various entertainments inside the school. Studying groups are small. There was a standard overview of the city, visited the Tower and Parliament, told about BigBen and some even modern sights (such as the Cucumber skyscraper). My daughter liked the tour of Windsor very much: since the residence was working, they feared that they would let the maximum down to the fence - but no, study groups abroad allowed many places in the palace, so we could see a lot!
Special thanks to the teachers: our daughter has a lot of experience traveling around the camps, and here she liked the counselors and the staff most of all - they were funny, friendly, with children on the same wavelength.
