The International Summer School For innovative programmes

A foundation for life

ISSFT Summer Schools offer young people from around the world the chance to study and have fun together in a supportive, safe and nurturing English-speaking environment. Through our unique curriculum, we encourage intellectual curiosity and support our students in developing a healthy sense of independence and self esteem. 

We provide a varied, challenging and exciting range of educational classes. To ensure the highest of teaching standards we maintain limited places, guaranteeing small class sizes and individual student attention.

Our learning outcomes provide new opportunities for students, including the chance to appreciate different perspectives. Our main objective of our summer schools is to provide a world education, see our students grow in confidence and ultimately make good life decisions. We want to prepare them for the future and give them the tools to flourish.
