Whether you're travelling from the UK or overseas, you'll enjoy an unforgettable summer of challenge, achievement, friendship and fun.

COURSE OVERVIEW
We offer a two-week junior programme and a three-week senior programme. Both programmes include a choice of study options along with a broad range of sports, drama, design, creative arts, cultural visits and social time. This all takes place on our stunning 200-acre woodland campus with world class facilities.
A highlight of each programme is a unique adventure residential; at our Gordonstoun Adventure Campus in the Cairngorm mountains for our junior students, and on the West Coast of Scotland for our senior students. Both locations have some of the most beautiful scenery on earth.
Our courses are suitable for native English speakers and those learning English as a foreign language. Parents are often astounded at the improvement in their child’s confidence, maturity and skills – and the deep friendships they develop – in such a short time.
