Benefits beyond the classroom

Our courses set the foundation for long-term success.

Support and feedback from our inspirational teachers is the backbone to getting it right for every child. The knowledge, skills and confidence developed on an SBC course allow our students to go forward and apply what they have learnt in other areas of their education and beyond. Giving them the necessary steppingstones to achieve their future goals.

Teaching you can trust. Care that shows.

Great teaching matters, and so does who your child is supported by. Our staff are selected for their ability to teach well, build trust quickly, and support international students who may be away from home for the first time.

Our staff are trained to uphold the highest standards of safeguarding procedures. Safety and well-being are the number one priority for all of our staff in order to provide outstanding care to all students.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I made friends from all over the world which is more than enriching, and I hope to stay in touch with most of them. I am coming back home with a head full of memories, and I feel more confident about life and the future.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience

My two kids had the time of their lives. They loved their teachers and learned a lot – not just English, but about other cultures, due to the large diversity in their friends’ backgrounds. And they thoroughly enjoyed their activities in the afternoons. They told us that they didn’t really miss us – which I take as a great sign.

The time of their lives
Jasper, Testimonial Student at Oxford College

When I came here I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do with my future…by experiencing all of these subjects I’ve got a better picture of what I want to do now. I have learnt a lot and I am ready for my future

After a summer with SBC I feel a lot different.

This programme brought out the best in her. My daughter discovered her skills and potentials and has now realized what she wants to do in life. She met with other children of various countries, was able to appreciate them and made lasting friendships. The program was well structured and well-thought of. She brought out special praiseworthy mention of the tutors, who she described as very warm, very knowledgeable and very helpful.

The SBC summer experience was the highlight of her life

Other than starting my own company, I have been accepted into some of the biggest universities in The UK. These courses involve a great deal of knowledge that I learned from Summer Boarding Courses’ Business & Leadership course

SBC has helped me improve my English whilst having fun. That’s why I’m coming back for the third time in a row!
