Summer academic English in Concord College UK

Courses are designed for foreign students with varying degrees of proficiency in English. For three weeks of studying a child can take a course from elementary to standard or be studied right away through an intensive program. Courses usually start on June 29 and last until mid-August. Arrival of new students is planned on Sunday.

The standard summer program is designed to improve the children's communication skills, writing and stock vocabulary. Intensive program provides, in addition to the academic English course, additional hours of subject classes. Schoolchildren 13 - 17 years old can study two subjects to choose from:

• Math;
