Overview


Concorde International Summer Schools welcomes international students aged 5-17 each summer for a programme of English language lessons, activities and excursions.

We have several locations in Kent and Bath in July and August.

The activity and welfare sessions account for over 75% of their experience and are planned to encourage students to continue their language learning outside the classroom whilst enjoying fun, engaging games and excursions in a safe and inclusive environment.


The main role of an Activity Leader is to engage with the students and make sure that the students, in turn, engage with all aspects of the programme—classes, activities and excursions.

This means communicating, interacting, and generally being alongside the students and making sure they are happy, involved and having fun.

We aim to provide an excellent cultural and learning experience through effective and enjoyable courses conducted in a professional yet personalised environment.
