FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Our summer schools at Eton College are all suitable for ages 12-16.

Although Eton College is a boys’ school, our summer schools at Eton are co-educational. There are separate boarding houses for boys and girls.

Both residential and day programmes include tuition, course materials, sports and social activities, supervised excursions, Wi-Fi, student insurance, a graduation certificate, and an academic progress report.

Residential students also receive accommodation, all meals, and weekly laundry. Day students receive lunch and an evening meal, but accommodation and laundry are not included.

We currently offer one programme on our Eton summer schools. The Future Global Leaders Simulation is an immersive leadership & business course: students launch their business venture and then lead it through a simulated decade of opportunities and crises.

There is no formal deadline for applications, however, we give places on a first-come, first-served basis. We also employ a 10% limit on the number of students who speak the same language. This means that there is only a limited number of places for each course per native language. Particularly with our smaller campuses, such as at Eton College, this means that places can fill quickly. We, therefore, advise booking as soon as possible in order to guarantee your place.

Absolutely! We understand that there is lots to consider when making the decision to book one of our courses. Just fill in our enquiry form and a member of our dedicated admissions team will get back to you.

At Eton, the minimum level of English language required is intermediate (B1+) or above.

Before the summer, we send an online test for students to complete. We will use the results to confirm their suitability for the course. In the case that a student does not meet the required level on the test, we will conduct an academic consultation to assess the next best step.

If you would like to arrange a free English test for your child, then our Admissions Team can help. Contact us here.

Yes, we do. Please contact us to learn more.
