We encourage collaboration, cooperation, and mutual support, enabling us to achieve shared goals and create a positive impact in our broader society.
We are committed to providing transformative experiences that leave a lasting impression. We believe in the power of personal growth and self-discovery. Our programmes are designed to ignite the spark within each individual, encouraging them to explore their passions, embrace new challenges, and unleash their full potential. We create opportunities for students and staff to engage in diverse activities, acquire new knowledge, and immerse themselves in inspiring places, ensuring that their journey with us becomes a cherished memory.
We believe in the limitless potential of every individual. We encourage a growth mindset that challenges individuals to go beyond their comfort zones and explore new challenges. Through supportive environments and meaningful experiences, we empower students and staff to build confidence in their abilities, take calculated risks, and overcome challenges. We cultivate a philosophy that encourages resilience, fosters self-belief, and fuels personal and professional development.
We recognize that learning is a lifelong journey and a catalyst for personal growth. We are committed to providing continuous opportunities for knowledge acquisition, skill development, and intellectual exploration. We encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and a thirst for knowledge, nurturing a passion for learning that extends beyond the confines of traditional education. By fostering a love for learning, we empower individuals to continuously expand their horizons, enhance their self-esteem, and adapt to a rapidly changing world.
Summer Boarding Courses is part of Dukes Education, a family of schools and educators, bought together by a common purpose: to give children the foundations for an extraordinary life, through education. Our shared expertise from year-round schools, colleges and university application support enables us to develop truly inspiring courses.
Alongside our award-winning residential Summer Schools, SBC also offers a range of other courses. Students can join our Day Camps alongside local English children, or discover an online experience with one of our recommended partners. We’re committed to offering students the best educational experiences throughout the year.
