Based just outside Ascot, this popular all-girls boarding school has been hosting summer courses for over 40 years. Girls from across the globe return year after year for the school’s English Language Summer School, which includes mornings of English tuition and afternoon of activities ranging from photography to floristry to water sports. There are plenty of trips thrown in too, with regular excursions to nearby Windsor, Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon, and opportunities for older girls to sign up for sessions on teamwork, life skills and wellbeing – designed to help improve their confidence and fluency in both formal and social situations.
For girls based in the UK, there’s a day and residential Summer Camp, with packed itineraries of sport, cookery, arts and crafts and more. At the end of each week, girls put on a bumper exhibition for their parents, giving them a chance to show off what they’ve been up to. Pupils from both courses regularly mix together, meaning everyone leaves at the end with a new gang of friends from a diverse range of cultures.
