Churchill House Summer Centres

Our summer vacation courses are based at nine different schools and locations throughout England and the UK. All of our summer schools have a packed weekly programme of English classes, activities and excursions that have been designed to help students learn English, make new friends from around the world and explore the culture of England and the UK. Each of our summer schools has a different programme so please explore each of our centres to find the perfect course for you.

ACTIVITY PROGRAMME

Students don’t just learn English in class – meeting new people from different countries is an important part of the learning process. Our activity programme provides the opportunity for students to meet and learn together. We offer a range of activities, sports, and excursions all led by our team of enthusiastic staff.

DAYTIME ACTIVITIES

During the day students can choose from a variety of interesting activities including sports (e.g tennis, football, basketball, swimming); arts and cultural activities, such as painting, crafts, drama and dance. Centres in cities will also offer local walking tours and museum visits.

EVENING ACTIVITIES

Our evening activities include shows, discos and quizzes, with the emphasis on student participation and enjoyment.

RESIDENTIAL ACCOMMODATION

Living in a residence gives students the opportunity to mix with other international students from all over the world, providing a natural environment for practicing English! Where students share rooms we usually place them with students of a different nationality to practice their English with. Many of our students return year after year making life-long friendships!Churchill House residential summer vacation courses take place in prestigious private schools and colleges around the UK which are chosen for their location and the high standard of facilities they offer.

HOMESTAY ACCOMMODATION

On a homestay course students live with local people in their homes and travel to school to study and take part in activities with the other students.

Homestay programmes are perfect for students to completely immerse themselves in the culture and language of the UK – enjoying the opportunity to practice English in a real-world setting with their hosts.

All our homestay ‘families’ are carefully selected by our local accommodation managers who know the area well and inspect each host family personally. Our families do everything they can to welcome students to their friendly homes and to make their stay happy and successful.

UNACCOMPANIED MINORS

In airline policy, an unaccompanied minor is a passenger under 16 years of age (airline regulations vary) who travels without an accompanying adult. A parent or guardian who requests this service fills out a release form, identifying another guardian who will pick up the child at the destination airport. Airline personnel are responsible for escorting the child through immigration and customs and boarding the flight in time. A fee is often required for this service.
