Welcome to Etherton Education 

Academic Summer Courses and Online Courses

Etherton Education academic summer courses are designed to prepare international students for studying in British boarding schools.  Our summer boarding courses are also suitable for students who just want a ‘taste’ of British Education’.

Our courses are academic, with English for Education as the main focus.  Students study intensive English and up to ten other academic subjects.  In addition to the academic studies, we also focus on the personal development of students ‘soft skills’ such as confidence, team work, leadership, communication, creativity and integration.  The courses also include lots of sport, social activities, Sunday clubs and cultural visits.  Students live in an international summer school environment.  They will work hard but have a lot of fun!

After a difficult year in 2020, we have launched our brand new Online Courses this Winter and we are delighted to be preparing for our 2021 Academic Summer Courses.

Our Online Courses

In August 2020, we began running Online Courses as we were not able to run our summer program.  These were a great success and we have now released our Online Winter English Course for 2020.  The course is available from December 14 until January 08 with three date options.  Students will have lessons including English and Study Skills, Explore the World and Conversation Time with our Student Hosts.

Take a look at our Online Course page to see more about our virtual world and our Online Winter Courses.
