Embassy Summer is part of Study Group, a world leader in the provision of integrated educational packages. We have over 30 years experience in the field of English language provision and we are one of the UK’s largest British Council accredited providers of EFL. We operate over 20 summer schools throughout the UK and Scotland.

Our Courses

Students who attend our summer school courses receive a combination of English language tuition (15 hours per week) and a comprehensive programme of activities and excursions. In full day teaching centres, students may have their lessons in the mornings or the afternoons. In half day teaching centres, lessons will take place in the morning. The activity programme will include daytime and evening activities and at least one half day and one full day excursion per week to local attractions and popular tourist locations.

Embassy Summer provides a range of EFL resources for teachers, including Embassy Summer core teaching materials, supplementary EFL course books and resource books, authentic materials and audio-visual aids. Whilst a suggested syllabus is provided, teachers are also encouraged to bring their own experience and materials to the classroom. In some centres, we also run additional courses (for example exam preparation and ICT) which students can opt to do three afternoons (or mornings) per week in lieu of planned activities. Please look at the programme specific to your centre as in some cases, teaching may take place at the weekend.
