Summer Boarding Courses

My son has attended the SBC summer courses twice, and it was an outstanding experience. The program combines academic rigor with fun activities, making learning enjoyable and meaningful. The dedicated and inspiring staff, with their own high academic backgrounds, gave personalized attention and became friends with the kids.The diverse curriculum not only boosted my son’s knowledge but also his confidence and independence. The beautiful campus and well-organized schedule perfectly balanced study and recreation. He came home very happy, more motivated, and self-assured, calling it the best camp ever. I highly recommend SBC for an enriching summer experience for any teen.

The students were really excited about the summer courses. They loved the campus, programme, and atmosphere. We're happy that our teamwork helps them become more confident and independent as they go through their busy schedule. The programme itself was well-structured, offering a wide range of educational and recreational activities. The atmosphere on campus was welcoming and conducive to both learning and enjoyment.They expressed a strong desire to return and were keen on persuading their parents to allow them to participate again next year. We deeply appreciate the committed SBC Team for their invaluable support in guiding our students through the ups and downs of every moment of courses.Thanks to the SBC Team for the great support.

The booking process was very smooth. Musab and Catherine were very professional and responsive. All the staff in the summer school were very friendly and helpful. Our students had a wonderful time. It would be even better if the students from the same country could be separated as much as possible so that they get the most from this international study experience.Overall, it is a great program that we would love to bring our students back.

SBC staff is very profesional and friendly with the students. The facilities are great. The courses and activities are well organized and allow the students to live the experience in a safe and fun way at the same time. It is the most multicultural program I´ve ever been in, as there was people from 43 different nationalities. Students can make friends from all over around the world and learn from different cultures. Also the staff encourage students to speak english all the time so they can practice during this weeks. I like that students never went alone in the campus, either during activities, they are always watched by the staff so there were no risk of having a lost student. In my opinion, a great program.

My son said, it was a wonderful experience during the course held. the tutor , staff, are very amazing people. Thank you SBC

The schedule for the students was exceptionally well-organized, providing them with a comprehensive and enriching experience. The chosen location was ideal, offering a perfect blend of academic pursuits and leisure activities. The academic arrangement was strong, ensuring that students gained valuable knowledge and skills. The program offered a complete and well-rounded UK education experience, covering various aspects of learning and personal development.

SBC was the best gift that I could give my son for his summer break!

The SBC Summer Boarding school delivers a unique and memorable experience to students. We’ve had great feedback from our daughters who, this year, attended the SBC Canford programme for the second year running. They enjoy the quality of the courses, the variety of extra-curricular activities, and the various excursions. SBC staff are also a reason why we choose to send our daughters to the SBC summer programme. They are polite, knowledgeable, and responsive. Just as importantly, our experience is that, for SBC staff, students’ welfare is of paramount importance. We have always felt that our daughters were well looked after by the SBC team.

Working with SBC has been great, the whole process has been smooth. Each of the person I was in contact with was extremely helpful since the very beginning; at ICEF event and from School. Prompt replies, helpful information, patient at parents questions, kind and open, well organized, professional and experienced.

My son attended SBC summer camps two years in a row. Last year at SBC at Canford, this year at HEADINGTON OXFORD. They were two wonderful experiences. Every aspect is studied in detail. The whole organization works perfectly. Enrollment is simple, all questions are answered promptly in practically real time and every aspect (health, character, ability, knowledge of the language) of the student is evaluated so that he feels at ease upon arrival on campus. The days are organized so that the kids are always busy, socialize, have fun and speak English. The lessons help students a lot to improve their level of English but thanks to group work, various presentations, team games they develop their skills and self-esteem. My son's level of English has significantly improved and above all he is much more confident and able to organize himself better.It's hard to put into words how much fun he had. He met many boys and girls with whom he made friends and with whom he spent unforgettable moments.Children from all over the world come to the SBC campuses and this gives them the opportunity to get to know different cultures.Seeing the smiles of the kids in the blog where the most significant moments are published, you can understand how this experience is extremely fun and positive for them.A special thanks to the staff who have always been very professional, helpful, attentive to the needs of every single boy and kind.Well done everyone and thanks.

Not only an English course, but a thorough experience for our child.He has experienced an inspiring academic course, a diverse international environment, an enriching bunch of activities, including leisure and sports. His second year at SBC and we will be happy to replicate next year.

Very enthusiastic, proactive, and timely and effective communication.

As an educational agent, I had the privilege of observing the summer school program from a unique perspective. While my primary role involved facilitating logistics and liaising with participants, I was also able to gain insights into the program's overall effectiveness and impact. From the outset, it was clear that the organizers had meticulously planned the program. The attention to detail in coordinating schedules, accommodation, and transportation was impressive. This level of organization contributed to a smooth and hassle-free experience for both participants and instructors. It's evident that the program's management team was dedicated to ensuring a seamless execution.On the administrative side, the communication channels were well-established. Regular updates and prompt responses to queries ensured that participants and their families were well-informed throughout the program. Additionally, the provision of support services such as counseling and wellness sessions showcased a holistic approach to student well-being.

The process of enrollment was quick and easy. The family was very pleased. The only thing that the parents did not like was the fact that the students had the cellphones all the time. I would like as agent to have all the updated information for summer 2024 as soon as possible

The program is attractive and customer support is amazing. Felt really accompanied all the way. My daughter came back really happy

My daughter had an incredible experience at SBC's summer camp. She came home with tears in her eyes from saying goodbye to such good new friends and having lived a stimulating experience. I feel she's more confident in her ability to navigate and live away from home for a few weeks, and in any case, the experience has had an impact on her autonomy and independence. In addition, she has tried new art techniques, and she has gotten to know and explored museums and cities as stimulating as London, Rochester, and Canterbury. I have felt confident in sending her to the other side of the world due to the excellent communication and organization with the admissions team and the constant feedback to parents through the blog. Definitely an experience that broadened her mind and horizons. Very grateful to the entire SBC team!

Everything was perfect since our first contact. We had all the information before sending ou daughter and perfect continuous suppport during her stay at Oxford Summer. My daughter really enjoyed her course, the friends and all the environment at Oxford.

My daughter spent 2 week doing the math courses.She was amazed by the experience. Organization has been perfect on all aspects.

The connections, the country, the education

My son loved it we had an amazing experience. Highly recommended

Summer School @ Earlscliffe was truly a memorable experience to my son and his friends. Its meal, excursions and class arrangements were second to none among the same providers in the UK. Above all, its culturally diverse environment had offered an exceptional study abroad experience to my son. Evans Chan

Both my daughter and I highly recommend SBC. My daughter was very happy. Me as a parent was quite relaxed as I had the feeling that she was very well taken care of. From the first contact till the end, the services were very professional.

This summer course was the second experience for my daughter Elena and it was a great experience, huge learning and enormous fun.Thanks to SBC for the perfect organization and the great attenzione to the studenti.I'm very satisfied

This was my 2nd summer holiday with SBC: after Canford, I spent 2 weeks in Folkestone... just amazing! I'm already looking forward to be back in the UK for another great summer with SBC! Cool!Riccardo from Italy

SBC was the right choose for this summer. My daughter had a very interesting and good experience. She joined the BAM course and learned lot’s of new things. She also speaks of how entertaining the days were, and the wonderful staff. I would always recommend SBC, because it was a wonderful experience and my daughter was very happy she stayed the summer there.

My daughter has been in Rochester for two weeks and wants to repeat next summer.She Womet young people from many countries and keep in contact with them after the campus.The organization support to the family has been great.100% recommendable

Before the pandemic, we booked 2 weeks of summer school. Since the summer programme was cancelled due to the pandemic, we were able to get a full refund or reschedule the booking for a following year without any problems.The summer school itself was an unforgettable experience for me. Everything was incredibly well organised, from the booking to the journey home.The staff and tutors were very nice, the accommodation very comfortable and we had excursions and leisure activities.To cut a long story short, I had a great time at Combridge College with SBC. It was definitely more than worth it giving it a try

Our son had a great experienced, he met friends from all over the world. He had a great learning experience with his Med teacher as well, we look forward to send our 3rd daughter next time

My child had 2 weeks summer camp in Rochester. Everything was excellent: staff, organization, interesting lessons, new friends. Thank you SBC!
