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.
Our daughter (16 years old) had an incredible experience at the Oxford camp. She can’t stop raving about it. It was a good mix of academics and activities, and she made wonderful friends among both students and counselors. The ISSFT team is dedicated and pays attention to details. I highly recommend this for any teen who wants a rich international learning experience.
