course detail for younger teenagers 13-15

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.
