Bucksmore Education, with its rich history and tradition, also embodies originality and challenge. With 40 years of experience, we continually enhance the quality of our prestigious summer schools. Our goal is to support every student in achieving their goals within a safe, positive learning environment—whether building language skills, developing 21st-century leadership abilities, fostering a global mindset, or preparing for top UK boarding schools or universities.
Program Model and Philosophy
The summer school is modeled on American summer camps, featuring 'Counsellors' who live with students, teach lessons, and lead excursions and activities. This provides a higher level of pastoral care, guidance, and friendship, offering students more than just teachers and activity leaders.
Working in summer schools is rewarding for both students and staff. Bucksmore aims to create unforgettable courses. Our philosophy encourages students to mingle with peers and staff, enriching their international cultural experience.
