English Summer Camp for Juniors in Cambridge

​Students follow 20 lessons per week of General English, with each 50‑minute lesson focusing on communication, vocabulary development, and the practical use of English inside and outside the classroom. Teachers use a communicative, learner‑centred approach with weekly themes and project work, and students are placed by level after a placement test to ensure classes are appropriate and challenging.

The standard package includes tuition, residential accommodation, all meals, a full social programme with activities and excursions, 24‑hour supervision, learning materials, and an end‑of‑course certificate and report. Optional English Plus language sessions (Exam Skills, Performing Arts, University Studies Taster) are also included in the package.
