English Language School in the UK – Lessons, Activities and Excursions

Our English Summer School for international students is based at Dauntsey’s School, a prestigious UK boarding school in Wiltshire. Here, your child will learn English in a secure, friendly and fun environment — while experiencing the very best of British culture.

Each week, students enjoy 15 hours of structured English language lessons taught by qualified EFL teachers. Additional lessons are available for those looking to strengthen their English further. Our UK-based English summer school is designed to meet the needs of learners from a wide range of backgrounds and abilities.

Beyond the classroom, our Social and Active English Programme runs every afternoon and evening. It allows students to practise English informally through creative activities, sports, and social games — reinforcing what they’ve learned in a dynamic, real-world context.

The best way to learn English is to live it — and our UK-based English language summer school provides that full immersion. Your child will be surrounded by spoken English, supported by experienced staff, and engaged with a mix of British and international peers.

We’ve built our international English summer school to help each student grow in confidence, fluency and cultural understanding — while enjoying a safe and memorable UK adventure.

Richard Bernstein, Camp Director for over 25 years, says:
“All children from abroad who come to our camps leave speaking more fluently than when they arrived.”

If your child is learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) at home, our summer school in the UK offers expert tuition, rich language exposure, and a fun, supportive setting for rapid progress.
