Junior English Language Courses

Welcome

Bath Academy Junior Summer School offers an ideal opportunity to combine learning English with an exciting holiday in a beautiful city with students from all over the world. At our Summer School, students make new friends and many students come back year after year.

We welcome individual students and student groups with leaders to a secure and accessible environment. Lessons take place in our own permanent school building which is located centrally near the main shopping area and parks.

Lively and informative lessons are supported by cultural and sporting activities which encourage students to learn about the culture and language of Great Britain. Class activities include project work, and topic lessons linked to the excursions. We aim for lessons to be both enjoyable and challenging.

NEW! Closed Junior courses are also run in the autumn, winter and spring for school groups accompanied by leaders.

Further Information:

It was the first time I'd been abroad on my own and I liked the experience. I'm looking forward to doing it again - if not in Bath, I hope another school will give me the same 'service' as Bath Academy and my host family did.

Dear Sir,

My daughter Louise CHANTON spent 2 weeks in your school in July, with a friend of her, Alice VOUTHISISOMBATH.

I would like to thank you for the excellent time they spent, the quality of the lessons, the kindness of all the persons, the one in charge of accomodation and the teachers. They are even thinking about coming back next summer !

Kind regards

Eric Chanton
