Overview
The International Summer School for Teens (ISSFT) provides a unique experience for young people from different nations and backgrounds to study and have fun together in a choice of beautiful, supportive and safe environments. Through our unique curriculum, we encourage intellectual curiosity and support our students in developing a healthy sense of independence and self esteem. We provide a varied, challenging and exciting range of educational classes. To ensure the highest of teaching standards we maintain limited places, guaranteeing small class sizes and individual student attention. Our learning outcomes provide new opportunities for students, including the chance to appreciate different perspectives. Our main objective is to provide a world education, see our students grow in confidence and ultimately make good life decisions. We want to prepare them for the future and give them the tools to flourish. Our school takes place during the summer holidays, and fun is part of the package. As well as academic, sporting and creative classes, all of our programmes include a huge range of exciting activities to help students make friends, relax and re-energise. The long, light evenings of the British summer mean we can offer plenty of activity in the fresh air, as well as indoors. Our stunning University of Oxford campus, situated in the heart of historic Oxford, is only one 45 minutes from London’s Heathrow airport. Oxford’s unparalleled surroundings, inspirational landmarks, and modern shops and cafes, make it perfectly placed for creating new memories. Further afield lie some interesting cultural and historical places such as London and Stratford, and leisure attractions, including the Warwick Castle.

Q&A

We found ISSFT while searching for a summer school focused on improving English language skills. An added bonus was the school’s elective golf program as our son is an avid golfer. We researched the organization on line and checked its credentials and inspection reports, all of which were very positive. We have been very impressed during our interaction with the school. All emails were answered promptly and precisely, the parent portal is easy to navigate and informative. We especially appreciated the daily blogs and activity information published on the portal which allowed us to know what our son was doing without being intrusive.
Upon his return home we could see that his writing skills had greatly improved and that a new understanding for how to manage study time was top of mind, and, of course, he was in heaven regarding his rounds on the classic golf courses in the area. He really hopes that we will send him back as he had a great time! As a parent I was also very pleased with the security mindedness of the team, I received prompt notification when staff met up with our son at Edinburgh airport as well as when he was dropped off at the airport and the flight had departed.
Our son said staff were really good at getting so many different ages, nationalities and temperaments working together. We have recommended this school to our friends and would not hesitate to send our son back in the future.
A truly fantastic program, three weeks of amazing fun, serious academic work and endless opportunities for self growth. My daughter had an amazing time. Thank you!
ISSFT is so much fun, you meet some amazing people and create amazing friendships.
