Academic Explorers, 12 - 14 year olds

Cursus beschrijving

Our camp is based on the broad IGCSE/GCSE curriculum and covers a wide range of Academic Subjects including; English, Applied Mathematics, Sciences, Social Studies, Humanities and Art. Students have up to 30 hours of inspiring learning per week between subject lessons, our Be a Leader programme and Elective choices. Explorers gain a real insight and excellent preparation for any GCSE, pre IB or equivalent programme. Students pick up invaluable study skills to help students in their academic careers whilst being introduced to different styles of learning. Students learn from inspiring, qualified subject teachers who have been supported by EFL teachers so they know how to teach students whose first language is not English.

We take a cross-curricular approach to make learning fun and interesting so lessons involve a mixture of theory and practical work. For example, in Science, students enjoy many opportunities to do some practical experiments in the science laboratories which brings the theory to life. Students develop their IT skills, research and study skills as well as practising how to give effective presentations.

Sports, other activities, half a day trips take place during the afternoon from Monday to Friday and at weekends there are full-day excursions to exciting cities and towns.
