The perfect summer experience
With over 30 years of running summer schools for young people from all over the world, Kings Summer has given thousands of students a summer they’ll never forget.
To give our students the best possible experience, we make sure all our summer centres are in ideal locations, with excellent facilities and highly-motivated staff, many of whom return to the Kings Summer family year after year.
We pride ourselves on offering plenty of individual support and attention, and ensure that each child’s safety and well-being are always our top priorities.
The range and flexibility of our courses allow us to cater for a host of different interests, and for 2016 we are delighted to be offering residential programmes at two fantastic new locations — South Bank University (Central London) in the UK, and Bentley University (Boston) in the USA.
We are also pleased to introduce a range of new specialist activities, which can be booked in conjunction with the main residential summer course. These include horse riding and tennis in Bath, and golf and performing arts in Cheltenham.
We look forward to welcoming your child.
Mary Doody Director of Kings Summer
