International Summer School

Friendships Without Borders
Students aged 9–17 from over all over the world come together in small classes and shared boarding houses. The result is an international family where every student feels included, celebrated, and becomes part of the Dean Close community.

Learning English In and Outside the Classroom
More than 30 hours of English tuition (in classes of no more than 12 students) is paired with our diverse Skills Academies and activity programme. Every child has the chance to explore passions, discover talents, and build new skills.

House Spirit and Boarding Life
Living in our modern boarding houses feels like joining a family. Through our House Team system, students compete in fun challenges, earn points, and celebrate achievements together—building teamwork, resilience, and lasting memories.

Adventures On and Off Campus
From kayaking, climbing, and creative workshops to six excursions in every two-week course—including London, Oxford, and Bath—students combine active days with unforgettable cultural experiences.

Care That Inspires Confidence
With a highly-trained team made up of staff who love Dean Close, students are supported every step of the way. Wellbeing comes first, so every child can thrive and enjoy their summer.
