Fun and interactive summer English courses. Where imaginations go wild
Our summer courses will let your child’s creativity and curiosity roam free, so they can express themselves with confidence that goes beyond their English language skills. Young learners will work on an exciting range of practical and challenging tasks that encourage them to explore new ideas and experiences that are different from the year-round courses and school.
Free level tests
If your child is 9 years old or older by 31st December 2023, they will need to take a short English level test with one of our teachers, to help us choose the right course for them. Book the free level test for your child here.
Explore. Experiment. Get creative.
Children and teens build their confidence and skills while they have fun learning English through activities that engage their natural interests and enable them to learn new things.
Different modules to mix and match
This summer we offer a number of one-week modules. Each of them is an independent unit of study, so you can register your child for just one or for any combination of modules that suits your plans and budget.
Choose the centre closest to you: Lisbon, Parede, Miraflores, Coimbra or Porto (Foz do Douro)
