UNFORGETABLE EXPERIENCE y son attended SBC summer camps two…
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.

Such a Memorable and Fruitful Experience
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.

Outstanding experience with Summer Boarding Coarses
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.

SBC Cambridge College 2022
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
