How to apply for a summer school: A step-by-step guide

Summer schools of English are a fantastic opportunity for children to improve their language skills, discover exciting activities, and experience cultural exchange. With their growing popularity, it’s essential to plan and apply early to secure a spot for your child. Follow these simple steps to ensure a smooth application process.

What are the eligibility criteria?

At Samiad Summer School, we can accept children of all ability levels. Most of our programs are designed for children aged 7 to 18 and enable our students to flourish, growing in confidence and independence, during the camp experience. For the London Explorer program, the minimum age is set at 12, as it includes immersive excursions that require a greater level of maturity and autonomy.
To make sure everyone feels comfortable, children are grouped with peers in similar age ranges, creating an environment where they can connect and thrive making friends with others of a similar age from all over the world. These age-based groupings ensure tailored activities and a supportive atmosphere for all participants.
