Academic

Academic Summer Camp at Queens College, Taunton is a fun, inspiring, experimental, and educational way to spend your summer. Join our global, learner-centred community to hone your existing talents, learn new skills, improve your English, gain confidence, and meet new people.
Experience progressive learning in our state-of-the-art classrooms, and magnificent facilities with our experienced and forward-thinking teachers who understand how to bring lessons to life, providing you with an unforgettable learning experience.

Immerse yourself with a 3 hour morning camp and a  3 hour afternoon camp.  Your teachers have the time and space they need to deep dive into the subject, inspire you and facilitate profound learning. We'll go on field trips, hear from guest speakers,  visit businesses, and participate in a variety of other activities that the traditional classroom does not have time for. You are the architect of your own summer as you chose your workshops, —whether you want a serious, academic summer, an active sports summer, to perfect your English, or to explore the arts. 

We have a camp to suit everyone's interests thanks to Academic Camp Canada and Queen’s College, Taunton joining forces.   You can choose to participate in some of the exceptional camps that the school will be offering for the opportunity to interact with the locals or join Academic Camp's scholastic workshops. Or do both- why not mix and match?  Anything is possible at Academic Summer in Taunton.
