Academic Summer Camps – Helping students Prepare for A Levels and IB
By Helen Lami
Adventurers (age 7-10), Pathfinders (age 11-12), Explorers (age12-14) and Engagers (age 15-17). We aim to provide the very best in summer camps to ensure our students are confident to step up to the next level in their chosen educational programme.
We also offer a taste of British education that will help any student settle in to boarding school in the UK. It also means they spend their summer productively learning new things and practicing what they know in a real situation. They may know what they want to do like studying medicine. Our Career Pathway camps can help them prepare.
A Level Preparation Summer Camps
Firstly, students need to decide whether they are going to do A Levels, or whether they will choose the Internatioanal Baccalaureate?
Our CEO Helen Lami recently explained the difference between A Levels and the IBDP and how the ABS change could affect students. Having spent 10 years working in international marketing for a leading boarding school and the past 16 years at the helm of Academic Summer she understands what international students are looking for.

Students have the choice of being in Westminster London at DLD College where they can see many of the world-famous landmarks, or experience real England in the beautiful British Countryside where they can enjoy horse riding and other outdoor adventures at Sidcot School.
We help students attain IB readiness
Students can choose from over 20 subjects from the Arts to Biology, Economics, Chemistry, Design & Technology, English, History & Politics, Mathematics, Media Studies, Physics, Psychology etc. Prepare for A Levels or IB using Content and Language Learning (CLIL)
“Academic Summer is unique as we offer very different programmes in comparison to an everyday language school,” our CEO Helen Lami explains. “Because we not only offer tuition in English but students can learn the language while focusing on diverse subjects. Our CLIL approach is a really exciting way of becoming better in English as you discover more about your interests and favourite topics while developing your language skills.” (See: Discover the power of Content and Language Integrated Learning with Academic Summer)

Last summer, Hadia spent five weeks with us, and from the moment she arrived, she became a cherished member of our summer camp family. Her presence brought warmth, enthusiasm, and a rich cultural perspective to our community. We admire her dedication to learning and her vibrant spirit inspired everyone around her.
