I am grateful for our partnership with DLD, for the families who trust us year after year and for every student whose summer camp journey started here in the heart of Westminster. For me, it is about helping young people discover what is possible for their future and helping them get ready for it. I hope your 7 to 12-year-old joins us as day scholar this summer! We can also facilitate boarders from 13-17!

I am delighted to share this interview with Betty Ho, who plays such an important role in guiding families through the Admissions journey at Academic Summer. Betty brings not only years of experience in international education, but also deep personal understanding, having made her own educational journey from Hong Kong to the UK.

Interview with Betty Ho on why the UK is great for summer camps Betty Ho, shares why a summer in the UK remains one of the most transformative experiences a young person can have.

Easter is always a wonderful time to reflect on joy, tradition and of course, a little chocolate. These photos may not be from Easter itself, but they perfectly capture the spirit – students exploring London, sharing experiences and even enjoying some M&Ms. At Academic Summer Camps, these moments matter. Whether it’s discovering a global city or enjoying something as simple as chocolate together, students are building confidence, practising their English and creating lasting international friendships. It’s all part of the journey where education and adventure meet. Have a great weekend.

Happy Easter to our Christian friends whether you're celebrating this weekend or next. We welcome children from 7 to 17 from all backgrounds and cultures, in July and August, attracting students from 60+ nations. Have a great long weekend everyone + don’t eat too much chocolate!

One of the things I love most about our London programme is how inspiring the DLD setting is for our students. At Academic Summer and Living Learning English we believe that education should go beyond textbooks. Through our CLIL approach, students improve their English while exploring subjects they are passionate about. It is this combination of academic growth, cultural immersion and personal confidence that makes the experience so special.

Could this be your child’s bedroom view this summer? Send them to our Summer Camp at DLD College London in July or August and they could wake up to stunning views of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben.

Set right beside the River Thames, DLD is the perfect base for discovering the UK capital. From iconic sightseeing and exciting adventures to inspiring academic sessions, students enjoy a summer that is both enriching and unforgettable.

And it is not only about London. They will return home with deeper knowledge in the subjects that interest them most, greater confidence in English and friendships that can last a lifetime. See the link in the comments.

At Academic Summer, we help students try out future career pathways in a supportive environment, so they can make informed decisions about their future. https://www.academiccamp.org/career-pathways/
