Residential English camp in High Wycombe, United Kingdom
Wycombe Abbey is a very prestigious UK boarding school. Located in the beautiful town of High Wycombe - just 23 mins away from London by train and 25 minutes from Heathrow. Our summer programme offers a rich blend of academics and extracurricular activities for high-achieving students. The age range is 11-17 and is open to both native and non-native English speakers whose min level must be A2. It’s designed for ambitious, high-achieving students seeking an academically stimulating programme and an authentic British boarding school experience. This course allows students to engage in three hours of lessons per day, exploring: British Culture, English for Academic Purposes and Exams, Projects and Creations, and 21st Century Skills. In addition to classes, students select one elective for the duration of the course. Through these electives our students’ journey : 1) Leadership and Sustainability - enables them to become global ethical leaders 2) Coding and Game Design - learn the principles of computer coding and game design 3) Performing Arts - create and produce a dramatic performance 4) Sports, Health and Wellbeing - understand how to maintain an active lifestyle We have 3 sets of fixed dates in summer 2025 as follows: Wed 2nd July - Wed 16th July Wed 16th July - Wed 30th July Wed 30th July - Wed 13th August Duration: 2 weeks

English · Languages
Each two-week course runs to a clear rhythm: three hours of English every morning, fifteen hours across the week, then eight hours a week devoted to a single elective that students choose before arriving and keep for the whole course, so there is time to build something real rather than sample a rotation. Afternoons and evenings belong to sports and activities, and the evening entertainment programme is a required part of the stay because it is where friendships across nationalities are made. Excursions punctuate the fortnight with three full days and one half day out, deliberately tied back to what students have been studying, from British culture to university life. Groups are kept deliberately small, with a maximum class size of twelve and a high ratio of staff to students on site, and no homework is set after lessons so the day flows from study into activity. Everything is delivered in English, the shared language of a student body drawn from around the world, and students leave with a Wycombe Abbey certificate of completion and an academic report.

My son (14) was very happy at Wycombe this summer. He made lots of friends from different countries. He also loved excursions, especially Oxford and returned a lot more confident as a person and speaking English!

Safety & Supervision
Staff to camper ratio1:8
First-aid trained staff
Many of our staff have First Aid qualifications. If students have minor problems, our staff will look after them. If we have any concerns, we will take them to a medical centre near the school or the hospital. We strongly advise that all students have their own comprehensive private insurance, including medical cover.
Meals
Catering for breakfast, lunch and dinner is covered by the programme fee, so students are fed from the first refreshments on arrival day through to departure. The pastoral team keeps a quiet eye on whether each student is eating well and sleeping enough, part of the day-to-day care that comes with living in a Wycombe Abbey boarding house. Special dietary requirements are accommodated when they are set out in full at the time of booking, and the campus runs cashless, so a prepaid card is all a student needs for anything extra.
Screen time policy
Phones will be with the students at all times as they may be needed during specific classes. The internet is firewalled and supervised
