At International Summer School for Teens (ISSFT) St Andrews, the extracurricular experience is designed to be just as enriching and memorable as the classroom time. Students partake in an action-packed schedule of sports, creative workshops, and social events each afternoon and evening — from friendly team competitions to artistic and performing arts sessions. On weekends and evenings, the programme offers exciting excursions across the UK and group outings in St Andrews allowing students to explore historic landmarks, cultural treasures and new friendships in real-life settings. The combination of structured activities and free-time social events ensures a perfect blend of camaraderie, adventure and personal discovery.
Students stay in modern single bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom and shower, designed to offer personal comfort and privacy.
The accommodation is secure and well-supervised, with 24-hour campus security and a dedicated house system where age- and gender-appropriate groups live together under continuous staff care.
Rooms are furnished with study space, linen and towels are provided, and communal facilities (such as laundry and free Wi-Fi) support both learning and downtime.
