Our UK summer camps for ages 8 - 17 combine English lessons and life skill workshops with sports, social activities and excursions. Set in a safe countryside location, students from around the world enjoy fun, friendship, and personal growth. They return home refreshed and better prepared for life.

Our English summer courses for children and teens are held at Port Regis boarding school in Dorset, England, just two hours from London. The rural campus offers excellent facilities for academics, sports, and activities like tennis, golf, drama, cooking, and music.

All pupils live on campus, with easy access to classes, meals, and activities. Accommodation is separated by age and gender. We have high welfare standards, with experienced house parents to provide supervision and support.

Children and teenagers aged 8 - 17 can attend our residential English summer school in England for up to four weeks in July and August. Summer 2025 course dates are:

• Arrivals: Sunday 6 July and Sunday 20 July 2025
• Departures: Sunday 20 July and Sunday 3 August 2025

We recommend a four-week stay to maximise learning, enjoy the full range of activities and make the trip more environmentally friendly.

ECS prepares children and teenagers for the future by equipping them with essential knowledge and skills. We prioritize sustainability, reflecting our care for both our pupils and the planet.

Our host school features solar panels, energy-efficient buildings, and rewilding projects to support local ecosystems. Students engage with nature, learn about environmental issues, and we contribute to green initiatives.

ECS junior summer courses offer a perfect setting for Real Learning - learning that has a lasting and positive impact.

Beyond learning English, kids and teens develop life skills, make new friends, and expand their horizons in our international community.

Our holistic approach fosters creativity, compassion, and curiosity, helping young people return to their studies refreshed and better prepared for life.

Over the past 30 years, thousands of juniors and teens from around the world have joined our English summer camps in the UK, learning English and gaining life-enriching experiences.

ECS is more than a summer school - it's also a global community of students, parents, and staff, both past and present.
