Cheltenham College (Summer School) is a public school in Gloucestershire, England. During the academic year, children from 3 to 18 years old study on its campus, and in the summer months there are seasonal language programs attended by students from 10 to 17 years old.

Since its inception, the team of teachers and staff has grown rapidly, replenished with highly qualified specialists, and the multinationality of students is growing to this day - representatives from Portugal, India, Turkey, Germany, Russia and other countries coexist on campus.

A dormitory with single and double rooms has been prepared on the campus of the school. In them, students are accommodated according to their gender and age, thereby creating a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Bathrooms are shared and used in a ratio of 1:5 (to residents). Also in the residential building, students have access to recreation areas and a dining room, which provides three meals a day.

Modern catering provides students with three meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. In between, students can have a snack in the cafeteria, where they are offered drinks, pastries and sweets.

During several weeks of study in summer programs, students have the opportunity to try their hand at new areas of art, sports or social activities. After the main lessons, a variety of events are held for them: from thematic master classes to large-scale competitions. For example, in the first week, students are invited to master classes in tie-dye, origami, design, mannequin challenge competitions, mini-Olympic games, and also provide a chance to practice rugby, swimming and charity - cleaning the school grounds.

In the evenings, pupils attend collective events where students of all programs gather. Movie or computer game nights, theme parties, talent shows or cooking classes are held daily on campus.

The program also includes full-day field trips - students will visit London, Cardiff, Oxford and Butt with their famous sights.
