1. Where to go?

Will your child have enough insurance to stay in a big city? If you opt for a summer school in residence in the countryside, your teenager will have access to the recreational activities provided by the school. This may be suitable for some who like to participate in activities and will be happy when a pool or tennis court is available. What if your child loves discovering new places? Perhaps a stay in medium-sized cities of high cultural richness such as Oxford or Cambridge would suit him better for study in UK, so he could begin to be independent, within limits defined by the school. 2.Which environment is best for your child’s learning?

If your child is used to classes of 20 students or more where he feels he is not practicing enough, or if learning was done through reading, writing, and grammar, it would be better to have another environment for learning. A small class summer class with pairs or small group exercises that encourages everyone to express themselves is an excellent way to put their skills into practice.

3. Ensuring quality

It is also useful to consult comparative school information to find out which ones have the enormous success in teaching, provide the best services for the well-being of students, and offer a variety of activities in addition to the curriculum. This can be particularly useful if your child is planning to study in the UK in the future and wants to ‘taste’ the experience of the UK boarding school. If you have chosen a course at an independent British school (private) with this in mind.

4. Find out about the diversity of languages spoken

It is natural for your teenager to want to make friends who speak the same language, and it is unrealistic to wait for him to speak only English during his stay. However, if the school has students who speak different languages, your child is more likely to make long-term connections with students from different countries, and to use English to communicate with them. Schools of limited capacity, which do not host large groups, are easier to accommodate.

5. Consult the opinions of students and parents

These personal recommendations are often beneficial, and enthusiastic testimonials from the students themselves, as well as parents, is generally a perfect sign. The school’s Facebook page is also a good source of feedback and can give you a good overview of the school.

And just as importantly, look for information about students who have chosen to study English in UK longer, to spend a semester or year abroad. Schools hosting former students clearly show that the experience they offer is very motivating and stimulating for their students.

England has the best universities in the world. The most famous of these are Oxford and Cambridge, but there are also London institutes such as the London School of Economics and Imperial College.
