St Edmund’s College is over 450 years old, and is set in a 440 acre campus in rural Hertfordshire (40 minutes train from central London). The Summer School is an integral part of the College, and has been welcoming international children each year for the past 24 years.

Our award-winning Summer School is one of the largest in the country, with a capacity for ~190 children. Our students come from 40+ countries, and stay with us for either 3 or 6 weeks.

The programme is residential; the children and most staff live on site together for its duration.

Our children choose to spend their summers with us so that they can learn and practise English, make friends, experience life in the UK and in a British boarding school, learn new skills and have fun. Our programme is a mixture of English Language lessons; classes in the arts, sports and vocations; leisure & activities and off-site excursions.
