course detail for juniors 10-15

This is the perfect opportunity for your child to join an international summer camp and gain an early advantage in their English studies. A summer in Oxford will be great fun for your son or daughter.

  • Courses last for 3 or 6 weeks and take place during July and August each year.
  • Classes are available for levels from intermediate to advanced.
  • This course is specially designed for juniors and includes 15 - 18 hours of formal classroom tuition each week.
  • The Director of Studies tests students 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.

  • Afternoon lessons encourage the children to ‘learn through doing' – diaries and logs, treasure trails, group magazines, etc.
  • 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.
  • Your child will gain a confidence in using English which will remain with them for the rest of their lives.
