Summer Boarding Courses – The UK’s Number 1 Multi-Campus Summer School

SBC offers academic summer programmes designed to support both English language development and subject-specific study. Courses are led by qualified teachers with backgrounds in leading UK schools and universities. Content is age-appropriate, designed to be challenging without being overwhelming. 

Your child will benefit from a clearly structured timetable, with lessons focused on topics like STEM, Business, General English, and Leadership. The curriculum follows UK independent school standards and is accredited by the British Council and BAC. This ensures the educational experience is both consistent and rigorous. 

Focused Learning in a Safe, Supportive Setting 

Your child’s wellbeing is at the core of everything SBC does. Courses are held at well-known and secure UK campuses including Oxford, Cambridge, Eton, and Canford. Each site is staffed by experienced welfare teams and trained residential staff, available 24/7. The staff-to-student ratio is high, which allows for close supervision and individual attention. 

The residential environment is structured to promote independence while maintaining support. Students live in university-style accommodation, share meals in dining halls, and participate in organised evening and weekend activities under supervision. 

Balanced Daily Life 

A typical day at SBC includes 3–4 hours of classroom learning, followed by a varied afternoon of activities. These may include sports, arts, leadership workshops, or debate clubs. Evenings are filled with house competitions, talent shows, quizzes, or film nights. 

Students go on supervised trips to cultural sites such as London, Oxford, or Cambridge. These excursions are planned with educational value in mind but are also social and enjoyable. Students learn from real-life contexts, and parents can be confident that the day is structured from beginning to end.
