Description

Bucksmore provides academic short courses to students aged 10-18 that have been modelled on American summer camps, with 'Counsellors' who live with students, teach lessons and lead excursions and activities, providing a higher level of pastoral care, guidance, and friendship - giving students more than just 'teachers' and 'activity leaders' at a summer school.

With over 40 years of experience to perfect and improve the quality of our prestigious summer schools, we are proud of the academic short courses we offer.

It is our goal for each one of our courses to be the best course that our students have ever attended.

We welcome over 75 different student nationalities every year across our courses and ensure there is always a good mix of students on our courses.
