2 · The school
The best summer school address in London
Our London Westminster centre sits in the heart of Westminster, directly opposite the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, overlooking the River Thames and a short walk from the London Eye.
It is a purpose-built campus with classrooms, art and drama spaces, science labs, a dining room, a coffee shop, a garden and a social atrium – with boarding and teaching all under one roof.
Residential students stay in single en-suite bedrooms (a few twin rooms are available), with management and camp counsellors living on site.
3 · The summer programme
Three programmes under one roof
Every course uses CLIL – Content and Language Integrated Learning. English is not taught as a separate subject: students learn everything in English, through projects, debate, creativity and real communication.
The focus is on skills that matter now: critical thinking, human judgement, truth literacy, creativity and confidence.
Experience London · ages 11–17
Fifteen hours of lessons a week bring each London trip to life. Every week has a new London theme, and students study English, advanced vocabulary, communication and cross-curricular humanities – history, politics, economics, culture and sustainability – not from a textbook but by experiencing the city. Classes are grouped by age: Pathfinders, Explorers and Engagers.
Own Your Future · ages 14–17
Adventurers day camp · ages 7–10
Mornings are spent in small, hands-on classes (up to 12) led by experienced primary teachers, covering English, maths, science, social studies and the arts. In the afternoons, Adventurers head out into London with their teachers – places like the London Aquarium and the National Gallery. Day runs 8:30–18:00, Monday to Friday, with lunch included.
Timetable: a typical Experience London week
Groups alternate: some weeks lessons are in the morning and trips in the afternoon, and other weeks the other way round. Own Your Future students follow a longer specialist day (8:30 assembly, pathway sessions until 13:30, then projects, visits and workshops).
