Message from the Director

For over 25 years, Brooke House College has been running its residential Summer School throughout July and early August. Boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 17 visit us, either in small groups or as individuals, for any number of weeks during the period. Students come from all over the world, creating a uniquely diverse and friendly atmosphere, which is cherished by students and staff alike.

The course is constructed carefully to give each and every student the opportunity to improve his or her English, whilst, at the same time, taking advantage of a huge range of sporting and social opportunities, in the form of activities and excursions. By living and studying together, the course encourages students to speak English with each other and to experience one another’s cultures.

The Brooke House College Summer School is our own course. The majority of the Summer School teachers, activities and residential staff work at the college during the academic year and so are qualified, professional and experienced. They create an atmosphere of friendliness within the college with their primary concern being the care and welfare of the students, many of whom are away from home for the first time in their lives. Volunteer British boys and girls of similar ages to the students take part in all activities and excursions, mixing-in with the students, speaking English with them and helping to make them feel welcome and at home.

A measure of the success of the Brooke House College Summer School is that many individuals and groups of students return to the course year after year to repeat the Summer School learning experience time and time again. I hope you will enjoy browsing the 2010 website and we all look forward to meeting you at Brooke House.
