RGS Surrey Hills Summer Programme offers a vibrant and well-balanced summer experience for international students aged 6–17, set within a prestigious British boarding school environment. Combining traditional academic values with modern facilities, the programme provides a structured yet dynamic setting where students can develop their English skills while enjoying a rich schedule of sports, activities, and excursions. The welcoming campus atmosphere and strong pastoral care ensure that students feel safe, supported, and fully engaged throughout their stay.
Students aged 11–17 choose a morning course in English or Leadership, 15 hours a week, taught through story-based Missions (Mars, Outbreak and, new for 2027, Medieval) that build fluency, critical thinking, problem solving and communication. Afternoons are given to a specialism: Multi-Activity is included, or students can choose Intensive English, PSG Academy football, Horse Riding or Golf. Children aged 6–11 join the Junior Camp, with English lessons and activities designed for younger learners.
Beyond the classroom, the summer programme offers a lively calendar of afternoon activities, evening social events, and full-day excursions to destinations including London, Brighton, and Thorpe Park. A highlight of the experience is the overnight trip to Warwick Castle, where students enjoy a unique cultural adventure. Accommodation is residential, with comfortable boarding facilities and dedicated staff supervision, providing an authentic British boarding experience within a secure and inspiring countryside setting.
RGS Surrey Hills School is set within an impressive campus in the heart of the Surrey countryside, where historic architecture blends seamlessly with modern educational facilities.
