King’s College London English School is an English language school offering seasonal programs for foreign students aged 12-17.

Studying in short-term courses takes place on one of the King’s College London campuses, which is ranked nationally and internationally as one of the most academically strong institutions with outstanding student and graduate results. Located in central London, the language center provides students with the opportunity to enjoy city attractions, numerous cafes, restaurants and shops — various activities are included in the curriculum: from entertainment on campus to excursions around London and surrounding areas. In addition to modern infrastructure, a rich program and extracurricular activities, students can expect comfortable accommodation in a full board format, 24-hour support from qualified staff, communication with both native speakers and representatives of other nationalities and countries. All this contributes to the effective development of language skills and improvement of overall English proficiency.

Students are accommodated in a residence on the King’s College London campus — Guy’s Campus. The residential building offers single and double rooms with private bathrooms, access to shared leisure and study areas.

The accommodation format stipulates full board with two English breakfasts and a meal card for excursions.

Summer course participants are looking forward to a rich leisure program, including almost daily entertainment events on campus and excursions to the sights of London. During two weeks, the program includes:

• A walking tour of the city with visits to Parliament building, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Downing Street, Whitehall, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly,
• Visiting the London Eye — a huge Ferris wheel, an excursion to the British Museum,
• A trip to South Kensington with a visit to the Natural History Museum,
• A cruise on the Thames,
• Exploring the most photographed places in London,
• A walk through Hyde Park and the Serpentine Gallery, shopping on Marble Arch and Oxford Street,
• Visiting Camden Town — one of London's main markets,
• Inspection of Leicester Square, Covent Garden — a cultural arts center in the city.

Excursions include two tickets: a comfortable boat for a cruise on the Thames and a ride on the Ferris wheel.

Various events are organized on campus during lunchtime and evening, allowing students to get to know each other better, discuss their experiences and share knowledge, and have fun. The language center staff holds thematic contests based on world-famous works (for example, «The Lord of the Rings» and «Harry Potter»), culinary and creative workshops, sports training in a light entertainment format, talent shows, karaoke nights and movie screenings, parties and much more. At the end of the shift, a diploma awarding ceremony is organized — a solemn evening with dancing and summing up the results.

• The curriculum is tailored to any level of language proficiency,
• Small groups allowing teachers to give individual attention to each student,
• A rich leisure program with excursions and entertainment,
• Flexibility in studying — choice of start date, course duration at will.

Guy’s Campus, one of the academic sites of King’s College London, is located in the very center of London, just a few minutes' walk from world-famous attractions: Borough Market, The Shard London Bridge and others. Several academic buildings, two university museums and a number of residences are located on the campus. Bright and spacious classrooms, small self-study classrooms and relaxation areas have been prepared for summer programs. The dining hall and residence are located on Great Dover Street, near the teaching buildings.

The seasonal English language program is conducted in July and August, offering students a choice of start date and duration: one, two or three weeks. The weekly schedule includes:

• Breakfast — 8:00,
• Language classes — 9:00-12:30,
• Lunch — 12:30,
• Excursions and events — from 14:00 or 17:30,
• Dinner — 18:30,
• Evening activities — from 19:30 or 22:00.

The daily schedule varies depending on whether an excursion is planned for the day.

The course fee already includes all necessary services: accommodation and meals, language classes and materials, all campus events and most excursions, a graduation certificate. Administrative fees, medical insurance, flights, and personal expenses will require additional payment.

To enroll in the summer course, you need to fill out a registration form and submit the required documents. The admissions committee will contact candidates to provide all necessary information and organize an online test to assess their current language level. Upon arrival on campus, students are placed into groups based on their test results and begin their studies.

Upon completing the course, all students receive a graduation certificate containing information about their language progress and the number of English lessons attended. During the studies, teachers conduct intermediate interactive tests to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their students and help them improve their overall level.

Thanks to immersion in a linguistic environment and regular communication with native English speakers, students confidently use the knowledge they have gained in everyday life and studies, expanding possible academic paths for future education.

The summer program does not have strict admission criteria — the only requirements for enrollment are age between 12 and 17 years old, a valid passport, health insurance, visa or residence permit. The course curriculum is tailored to the initial level of English proficiency, making the program accessible to everyone: from beginners to advanced learners.
