Destination(Step 1)
Subject(Step 2)
Summer study for ages 13-18
The best teen summer school combines academic discovery with the right level of supervision, independence and social life. What works for a confident 17-year-old may be very different from the right first residential experience at 13.
Compare age groups, safeguarding, teaching intensity, accommodation and the daily programme. A good match should stretch the student while still giving families confidence in the support around them.
