Embassy Summer
Embassy Summer is part of Study Group, a world leader in the provision of integrated educational packages. We have over 30 years experience in the field of English language provision and we are one of the UK's largest British Council accredited providers of EFL. We operate 22 summer schools throughout the UK.

Our Courses
Students who attend our summer school courses receive a combination of English language tuition (15 hours per week) and a comprehensive programme of activities and excursions. In full day teaching centres, students may have their lessons in the mornings or the afternoons. In half day teaching centres, lessons will take place in the morning. The activity programme will include daytime and evening activities and at least one half-day and one full day excursion per week to local attractions and popular tourist locations.

Please look at the programme specific to your centre as in some cases, teaching may take place at the weekend.

The Working Week
Each day consists of three sessions (morning, afternoon and evening with a maximum of four sessions on a Saturday and Sunday, e.g. full day excursion plus a disco). Activity Leaders work 13 sessions out of a maximum of 23 sessions per week, with at least one full day off per week. The length of the activity session varies due to factors such as the type of activity, age of students, and distance of venue. One out of the 13 sessions will be made up of 4 x 45 minute residential duties (this will be on a rota basis).
