Wonderful location

With easy access to explore the city and surrounding areas, students can enjoy a varied and immersive summer programme, improving their English skills and making memories that will last a lifetime.

The perfect blend of old and new in the heart of Bristol

Our summer school, coming soon for 2027, is ideal for students who want a safe campus experience with lots of space to learn, and make new friends, all whilst enjoying the fantastic range and quality of food on offer!

In the mornings, you will improve your English in every class while gaining confidence and making new friends. In the afternoons, you can choose from our range of Creative Classes: Drama, Photography, Video-making & Football. By shifting the focus away from the language itself onto using language to achieve a common goal, we enable you to overcome any shyness and to really communicate in English.

After creative classes you have the opportunity to use the wonderful sports facilities: tennis courts, badminton courts, volleyball courts and much more.
