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.  We have options for online study as well as our residential courses here in the UK.  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. 

 

Our Online Summer 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 went on to run our Online Winter English Course in December.  We are delighted to be carrying on the online courses into 2021.  We now have available: 

Our Online Summer Courses, including an Online Pre-GCSE Course for students aged 13-15 and an Online Pre-A-Level Course for students aged 15-17, available from 12 July 2021.  

 

Our Residential Summer Courses

Our Pre-A-Level / Pre-IB Courses are for students aged 15-17 who are preparing to study A-Levels or the International Baccalaureate.

Our Fast Track Pre-GCSE Course is for students aged 15-17 who are preparing to start a One-Year-GCSE course.

Our Pre-GCSE Course is for students aged 13-15 who are preparing to study GCSEs.

Our Junior Academic Course is for younger students aged 10-12, they combine hard work with lots of active learning and fun.

Our Introduction to British Boarding for Girls Course is for female students aged 10-15, it is an innovative and exciting course built around different themes each week.  The course has been developed in partnership with the Headmistress and Staff of Badminton School.

Our Family Summer Course is for students aged 7 -10 accompanied by a parent / adult, it is designed to give a great introduction to British Boarding Schools.

For students coming to the UK to start at a British boarding school in September, an Etherton Education academic summer course will prepare them well.  After the summer school course, our students leave feeling more confident and ready to study at their new school.  For students just coming to experience life at a summer boarding school, they will leave not only with an improved academic level and new study skills, but also an invaluable life experience to take home with them.
