St. Clare's, Oxford

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 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 a 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.

• 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.
