The English Summer School at Caterham helps students to develop greater proficiency in the language.
With around 1.5 billion global speakers and a peerless reputation as the world’s lingua franca for governments, businesses, and culture, there has never been a better time to develop a stronger grasp of the English language in both its written and verbal forms.
The Caterham EAL Summer School Course provides students with an understanding of fundamental English and paves the way for entry to an English-speaking school or college, IELTs qualification, or simply presents an opportunity to grow your confidence in the language.
All CEFR English language levels (Ages 13-17)
Students will:
Develop and expand their vocabulary in English including, but not limited to: personal information, classroom language, family & friends, food and drink, directions, transportation, socialising, sport, and beyond.
Gain confidence in using English grammar correctly including sentence construction, communication of ideas, and phraseology so they can make themselves understood both in person and on paper.
Immerse themselves in English society and culture to broaden and deepen their knowledge of the underpinnings of the language whilst building invaluable cultural capital.
Under the guidance of experienced and capable Caterham teachers, students will explore English through a range of inclusive and accessible activities. By the end of the programme students will have a clear understanding of the English language, both written and verbal, thus setting the stage for further study.
Students can choose to join the summer school for 2 weeks or 4 weeks. Fees depend on the type of course selected. The table below shows the full cost for each option. All prices include tuition, accommodation, meals, activities, and excursions.
Students may enroll in a 4-week programme by choosing any two courses and combining them into a single, continuous study period.
For those interested specifically in English as an Additional Language, it is also possible to complete a 4-week course by registering for two consecutive 2-week EAL courses.
This flexible approach enables students to design a programme that aligns with their academic goals and personal preferences.
