International English boarding summer school for children and teenagers

On our residential UK English language summer boarding camps for children and teenagers, we combine language learning and life skill workshops with a healthy and fun programme of sports, social activities and excursions. A beautiful and safe countryside setting allows children and teenagers from many different countries to enjoy fun, friendship and learning while making good personal development.

Do you need to catch up, keep up or get ahead with your English? Do you need to prepare for an English language exam such as Trinity GESE? Our online, British Council accredited English language lessons can help.

Connect with our trusted, experienced and properly qualified English teachers for professional online English lessons. They are ready to help children and teenagers with online English speaking and grammar lessons.

Our English summer courses for children and teenagers from all over the world take place at Port Regis boarding school in Dorset, England. We are just two hours from London on a rural campus with outstanding academic, sports and recreational facilities. Our pupils enjoy English plus sports, including tennis and golf, drama, cooking, music and more.

All pupils live together at the school, where they can walk between classes, meals and activities. There are separate accommodation areas for different age groups and genders. Experienced house parents supervise and support the pupils in their boarding houses. We are proud to create a strong family feeling at our school.

Children and teenagers aged 8 - 17 can attend our residential English summer school in England for up to four weeks in July and August.

Summer 2025 course dates are:

• Arrivals: Sunday 6 July and Sunday 20 July 2025
• Departures: Sunday 20 July and Sunday 3 August 2025

We encourage pupils to join us for four weeks if possible to make the most of their trip to the UK. A longer stay provides greater opportunity for pupils to advance their English and enjoy the full range of activities - and is more environmentally friendly.

ECS aims to give children and teenagers a better future and provide them with the skills they will need to face the challenges and excitements of tomorrow. We care deeply about our pupils and the world they will inhabit. That's why we put sustainability at the heart of everything we do.

Our host school has solar panels, low energy buildings and rewilding projects to support local nature. We spend lots of time in nature, learn about environmental topics in the classroom and donate to green projects.

ECS junior vacation summer courses provide the perfect environment for Real Learning - learning that has a lasting and positive impact.

Kids and teens don't just learn English on our courses: they also learn important life skills during every part of the day while they mix, make new friends and broaden their horizons as members of our international community.

Our holistic approach to learning encourages creativity, compassion and curiosity. We aim for young people to leave our courses refreshed, ready to return to their studies and better prepared for life.

Thousands of juniors and teenagers from all over the world have attended our international English summer camps and courses in the UK over the last thirty years, learning English and developing through experiences to help give them the best start in life.

ECS is not just an English language summer school - it is also an international community of past and present pupils around the world, their parents and our staff.
