Academic Summer, UK has been a pioneer in offering academic camps since its inception in 2008 providing a unique blend of academic engagement, language mastery and practical application. We recognise that simply offering you traditional language teaching is no longer enough in the rapidly changing world of the Internet and technology. You need skills that a computer does not have so join us and elevate your creativity, problem-solving, adaptability, ethical awareness, teamwork, critical thinking and more with Academic Summer.
Whether you're aiming for academic excellence in GCSE, A Level or the IB Diploma, planning your pathway to university or your dream career, Academic Summer equips you witht the tools to excel in a rapidly changing world and grab the future with both hands.
In 2017 we launched Academic Camp Canada, as Canada was fast becoming the top location in the world for study abroad. We love the friendly Canadian welcome and our academic camps in Canada provide a very special destination providing an amazing opportunity for you that is very exclusive.

Teachers
In the summer, we employ a team of qualified teachers to teach their subjects and have experience with A-Level, IB, GCSE, IGCSE, and primary subjects, depending on the subjects and ages you're interested in teaching.

We like our teachers to make their subject options interesting for their students, and the lessons will be a mixture of theory and practical work.
Teachers can work one to four teaching blocks a week (each block is one daily lesson, Monday - Friday; teachers can therefore teach between one to four classes per day).

Camp Counsellors
We also look for enthusiastic Camp Counsellors. Ideal for this role are lively people comfortable leading groups of students through activities and trips. You will be responsible for planning and leading activities/electives (elective options include art, baking, dance, sports, engineering, robotics and photography), leading the students in daily activities on campus, leading afternoon and full-day trips as well as caring for students in the boarding house and supervising them at meal times and break times and making sure our students have a fantastic, fun-filled summer.
