- Summer English courses
Courses are held during the summer, available for booking to individual students and study groups. The learning process is combined, academic sessions are combined with a large number of leisure and entertainment programs. Students have the opportunity to learn big tennis and learn how to play at a fairly high level - the territory has its own Tennis Academy.
The course of studies ends with a traditional Triniti exam, upon successful surrender of which the student receives the appropriate certificate.
Every week, students are offered 15 academic classes in small groups (no more than 15 people each): this intensity of training allows not only to quickly achieve significant language progress, but also leaves enough time for leisure, recreation, walks, excursions and Shopping. Classes are formed in such a way that within the same group there are as many representatives of different nationalities as possible - such a multicultural environment allows quickly to overcome the language barrier. In each group there is an experienced teacher who confirmed his high qualification and EFL certification. The lessons are conducted in an interactive, dynamic format with a strong emphasis on the development of communicative and speech skills.
In addition to teaching sessions, students will find a rich and interesting program of extra-curricular entertainment and leisure - each evening, a separate and unique event is planned, where students can not only have fun, but also communicate with new friends from around the world.
- Trinity Examinations
We offer students the opportunity to pass the Trinity College Oral Examinations (GESE) to get a qualification in spoken English. These exams are authoritative among educational institutions in many European countries. Our experienced EFL teachers test students, distribute them to appropriate levels and provide an additional five hours of intensive spoken English each week. Students are fully prepared for oral tests, which are conducted by an external examiner Trinity.

Review about Bedales School Summer School
Liked! Especially teachers: the majority are young, attentive and funny. Everything is learned through conversations and films, and not by sticking people into textbooks. For example, watched "Pride and Prejudice", "Love Story", the series "War and Peace" in English.
My classmates were mostly Europeans, mostly the French and Austrians, a few Americans, and very few guys from Greece and the UAE. All are approximately equal in age, so it was interesting (although at first everyone had their own accent, it was necessary to get used to it). We were not bothered by the lessons, even the homework was in the spirit of “Tell us about the book that struck you” or “Remember the most fun moment with your friends,” and not “Memorize two paragraphs, page 42”. Grammar is the hardest thing for me - but I think if I do not plan to study abroad, then it will be more useful to have spoken English, good vocabulary and pronunciation, and that's all right.
In general, there are a lot of advantages, I am satisfied - it does not turn into an obligation: it seems that I went to study, but I did not feel any tension.
