Recommend for Summer School 2027
Top academic and experiential summer programs for students 11–18 years old in the UK, US, Canada and Singapore.
Summer school is an important stepping stone for study abroad applications: students both get acquainted with the international academic environment and gain more experience writing essays. Below are the program groups Sarah often advises parents on.
Academic program
For students who have clearly determined the field they want to pursue. These courses focus on a specific field — economics, medicine, engineering, law — with university instructors teaching the class.
Language and experiential programs
Suitable for students 11–15 years old or going abroad for the first time. Balance between English lessons and extracurricular activities and sightseeing.
Program by university
Some schools offer summer courses right on campus, allowing students to stay in dormitories and experience real student life. This is a good choice if your child already has a target school.
When should I register?
Most quality programs close applications in March–April, and scholarships often expire earlier. If you are considering next summer, you should start preparing your application at the end of the previous year.
