Welcome to Concorde International Summer Schools.

Thank you for choosing Concorde International for your Summer Study Programme. Concorde International has been providing Summer Schools for over 40 years, and welcomes students from many countries and cultures.

At each of our summer centres, the management teams, teachers and activity leaders, many of whom return each summer, work together to provide every student with the best possible experience.

From day one, students are fully occupied by the stimulating combination of the academic, social and cultural programmes, and certainly have no time to get bored! Whether presenting a project to the rest of the school, learning about the cultural history of the local area, chatting and relaxing over lunch or discovering the sights of London, students have every opportunity to mix with friends from other countries, practise their English and have fun together.

We do everything we can to ensure that you and your students have the best possible time and that you take home some fantastic memories of your visit to England.

For 11 - 16 year olds during term time.From September to June

Buddy Programme Only 1 or 2 weeks’ full immersion in school with English Buddies.

Buddy Programme Plus 1 week with Concorde International EFL teachers plus 1 or 2 weeks’ full immersion in school with English Buddies.

Both programmes can incorporate cultural activities and excursions led by Concorde International staff, in addition to the time spent at the school. The choice is yours!

The ‘Buddy’ will not usually be a member of a student’s host family, but will be specially selected by the school staff from among a group of motivated pupils who have chosen to be part of the Buddy Programme. Students and Buddies are paired (one-to-one) for the duration of the programme, often resulting in friendships that last well beyond the flight home.

Each buddy school has a liaison officer who will assist the accompanying Group Leader during the programme, and a Concorde International member of staff will be available at all times.
