During Summer holiday, many parents would look for summer courses, study tours and overseas learning activities for their children, to make good use of the holiday break. Spending a few weeks in a foreign country is a great way to learn about its culture, people and education environment and an effective way to improve your English! So we’ve handpick eight courses which we think are fantastic options for students of different ages and learning expectations. Under each of them we have indicated course components of lessons and activities, so that parents can easily locate the one with the right balance of class and play!
