Students will stay within the historic campus of Eton College, residing in shared dormitories. The accommodations foster camaraderie among students, with shared bathroom facilities and regular room checks to ensure safety and comfort throughout the stay.
Our teaching for 12-14-year-old students is focused on interactive and task-based learning. You will be taught by experienced primary teachers, who are there to inspire and engage you with the subjects they are passionate about. Our courses run over a week, and during this time you will develop your subject knowledge through multimedia presentations, group work, games, problem-solving, and project work with a meaningful real-life focus. This teaching style has an increased focus on age-appropriate content and offers more opportunities for independent group work than our 9-10 courses.
