Combining golf with an academic course, ISSFT St Andrews offers students the perfect balance of study, sport, and adventure. Mornings are dedicated to engaging academic subjects — including Global Leadership, Global Entrepreneurship, Academic English, Study Skills, IELTS Preparation, and Intensive English — all taught by expert tutors who inspire curiosity, collaboration, and critical thinking. Afternoons are spent on the golf course, where students receive professional coaching from PGA-qualified instructors in the world-famous home of golf. This dual-focus experience blends academic rigour with athletic excellence, allowing teenagers to develop both their minds and their game while enjoying life on one of Scotland’s most historic university campuses.
At International Summer School for Teens (ISSFT), 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 Scotland. Students will also enjoy the safety and freedom of St Andrews' cafes, shops, 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.
