The Student Experience

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO LEARN AT SUMMERBRIDGE?

1

Engage in New Subjects

Summerbridge classes are fun and engaging, with only 8 to 10 students in a class to give everyone the opportunity to interact and share ideas. The subjects taught are interesting and different from those taught at school. Examples of subjects include Marketing, Public Speaking, and Environmental Science. The lessons encourage students to learn in exciting new ways, and students can apply their new academic skills to their own schools and future studies.

2

Immerse Yourself in English

Students learn in an English-only environment at Summerbridge. While challenging, students will significantly improve their English communication skills and become more confident to speak the language. Summerbridge is a very supportive place and allows students to grow and learn at their own pace.

Learn Different Skills

Learning happens everywhere at Summerbridge, during classes, team-building activities, and events. Every day, students build life skills, including self-confidence, teamwork, and leadership. The program is filled with opportunities for students discover their potential, from expressing their ideas in class discussions to performing on stage. Students are encouraged to show creativity and be their unique selves.

Be Inspired

Summerbridge is a unique place, where the entire community supports and believes in every single student’s potential to succeed. With students and teachers sharing their ideas and passions with each other, students begin to develop a genuine interest and excitement towards the learning process.
