For over 30 years Harrow School Short Courses has welcomed boys and girls from all over the world on our ‘Serious Study, Serious Fun!’ summer camp for children to learn English or improve their English skills whilst learning more about British life and culture. We offer high quality EFL (English as a Foreign Language) courses in July and August at two of the UK’s most prestigious independent boarding schools near London and also manage a year-round online school. Students on our courses take part in some of the best activities and excursions on offer in the UK. Our residential English language centres are accredited by the British Council for the teaching of English and we are members of Young Learners English UK and English UK.
Summer school is the perfect opportunity to forget about exams and to focus on communicating in English. We encourage students to put their knowledge into practice, meaning they enjoy their language lessons, improve rapidly and feel proud of their progress. We call this ‘Serious Study’. Our lessons are complimented by excursions to some of the best places for children and teens to visit in London and the UK. High-end activities are also provided at our schools, delivered by specialist suppliers who are professionally qualified in areas such as tennis, hockey, leadership, drama, or science. Alternatively a multi-activity course offers students something out of the ordinary every day, from animal handling and circus skills through to battle archery or obstacle course.
Lessons help students improve their speaking, listening and pronunciation skills, giving them confidence to communicate more fluently in English. We teach language along with the soft skills that students need for success in modern life, such as teamwork, negotiation, debate, problem solving, presentation and leadership. We aim to promote a love of language learning that will stay with students for many years to come.
