There is no better way for your teenager to spend a summer in Oxford – St. Clare's offers the complete language learning experience for this age group!

• Courses last for 3 or 6 weeks and take place during July and August each year.
• Classes are available at all levels from Beginner to Advanced.
• The Director of Studies tests your teenager on the first Sunday and arranges groups according to age and language level.
• Teachers create a vibrant learning environment in which lessons inside the classroom are linked to the programme of excursions outside.
• Visits to museums such as the Natural History Museum in London or to sights such as Stonehenge or Windsor Castle are an integral part of the cultural and educational experience – preparation before the visit and follow-up activities afterwards enhance the learning for your child.
• Youngsters gain confidence during their course and quickly learn to communicate in English more accurately and fluently.
• Progress is monitored discreetly by the teacher and the Director of Studies and regular feedback is provided.
• There is a special ceremony on the last morning of the course when Certificates and Reports are presented by the teachers and Course Director.
• It is a great opportunity for your teenager to improve his or her grades before returning to school in September.

This is the perfect opportunity for your child to join an international summer camp and gain an early advantage in their English studies.

• St. Clare's offers a choice of two 3-week courses in July and August.
• Classes are available at levels from Beginner to Upper Intermediate.
• This course is specially designed for juniors and includes 15 hours of formal classroom tuition each week.
• Teachers are selected for their expertise with this younger age-group and ensure that learning is both rewarding and fun at the same time.
• Morning lessons focus on using the English language in a wide range of situations including introductions to new friends, language games, songs, art, story telling, speaking with puppets, and postcards to friends.
• Afternoon lessons encourage the children to ‘learn through doing' – diaries and logs, treasure trails, group magazines, etc.
• Visits to local places of interest (such as Christchurch College, where some of the Harry Potter films were made, or to Warwick Castle, where mediaeval jousting takes place) are a vital link between the classroom and the real world. Preparation and follow-up activities in class allow your child to make the most of the visits.
• There is a supportive learning environment in which the Director of Studies receives regular reports from the teachers on each child's performance and monitors progress at all times.
• Prizes and certificates are presented by the Course Director in a special ceremony on the last morning.
• Your child will gain a confidence in using English which will remain with them for the rest of their lives.
