Course detail for summer courses age 10-12

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.
  • We ensure the wellbeing of your child from arrival to departure. We provide a supervised airport transfer service.
