King Edwards School is a prestigious school that offers exciting short-term courses in the summer months aimed at learning English, studying the history of England, and gaining international learning experience.

Multinationality will allow students to make friends from all over the world, get information about the customs and traditions of other cultures, and improve their English language skills together in a comfortable environment.

Another advantage of the summer school is its proximity to London, which will allow foreign students to visit most of the historical sights of the capital, taste the local cuisine, and get impressions of the natural beauty and architecture of this city.

Pupils live according to a verified schedule: every day they attend classes, participate in events, have lunch and dinner, get up and go to bed at the same time. Excursions are organized several times a week.

Students are accommodated in a comfortable residence, occupying single, double and quadruple rooms. The neighborhood in the room is based on the similarity of children in gender, age, but difference in nationality. Each resident is provided with a sleeping place, a storage area, bathrooms, recreation areas, sports and academic infrastructure are common in the boarding house.

Students of summer programs are provided with a balanced three meals a day: breakfasts, lunches, dinners are served in the dining room. Dishes are prepared according to a menu based on the rules of healthy eating: meat, cereals, vegetables and fruits are purchased from local suppliers regularly to be as fresh as possible. If a student has special food needs, the school will provide him with an alternative menu: vegan, vegetarian, based on religious preferences or other.

A varied leisure program offers students of summer courses daily entertainment on campus: interactive games, sports competitions, movie and barbecue evenings, campfire gatherings and many others. Students regularly go on excursions, such as:

King Edward's School is located in the small village of Wheatley in Southern England. The area covers about 50 acres, adjacent to the University of Birmingham. The original buildings of the school from the 1930s are outstanding spaces: a beamed assembly hall called the "Big School", an extensive library and large laboratories. These buildings have proven their enduring value, remaining intact in the modern world, but the infrastructure of the educational institution has still undergone useful changes: gyms, design and technology studios, IT classrooms and other specialized areas have modern equipment, materials for experiments and projects.

The school has a vast territory that provides excellent conditions for sports:

• Eight rugby fields,
• Four cricket fields,
• Three Astro Turf fields for hockey,
• Five tennis courts,
• Shooting range,
• Track and field track,
• Seven artificial turf cricket nets.

In addition, the school owns extensive land across Bristol Road, where there are several more cricket pitches and a pavilion for sporting events.

For indoor sports, the Andrew Broad Sports Center, officially opened in May 2019, has been built: the building offers a large sports and gym, classrooms and changing rooms, a 25-meter indoor swimming pool.

Summer programs at King Edward's School usually take place in July-August. Courses range in length from one to several weeks, allowing students to achieve their goals at their convenience.

The registration procedure for summer programs is quite simple: the student should choose a course, submit an application and documents, and then wait for an official invitation to study. Upon arrival at campus, they will take a small placement test to determine their English language skills, get into a class based on their age and test scores, and start learning with their classmates.

At the end of the educational course, students are awarded a graduation certificate confirming the knowledge gained and the current language level. International experience, conversational skills, and a wide vocabulary will help the student to enter an English-speaking institution in the future.

Future students of summer courses must submit a package of documents: passport, health insurance, visa or residence permit. There is no need to take a language test in advance, since upon arrival at campus, each enrolled student is checked by an entrance test, according to the results of which he is assigned to the appropriate class. There are no requirements for the level of English in the summer camp.
