The exclusive ISSOS program is open to students aged 13 - 18 years old, and offers the opportunity to combine learning, creative enrichment and action-packed adventure in one of three amazing, historic and picturesque university towns of St Andrews, Cambridge and Yale. The three-week program mixes native and non-native English speakers and every year we welcome students from over 80 nationalities. We also limit the number of students from one nationality to 10% in order to guarantee a truly international experience.

Students choose one academic and one elective subject to focus on for the 3 weeks. They are taught by highly qualified professionals and also benefit from a full program of evening activities, cultural day trips, and workshops. Students are supervised by a team of summer school counselors who make sure students are safe and happy at all times as well as making sure the summer school is fun, full of laughter and that all students make friends from around the world. 

Students can choose from the following academic classes:

• Business & Entrepreneurship
• Debate
• English Language
• Pre IB
• Creative Writing

Followed by one of the following elective options:

• Theatre
• Tennis
• Film
• Photography
• Outdoor Leadership 

Yale is located in New Haven, Connecticut. The campus is set on 265 acres and provides many amenities for students and staff during their stay.  More importantly, Yale provides a safe campus where students can enjoy a certain amount of freedom and everything it has to offer. Students will stay in Yale University College dorms that are centrally located so you can enjoy the stunning architecture as well as a number of lawns where you can relax, read a book or play sports.

Unlike other summer schools, we offer limited places in order to guarantee that all our students will benefit from small class sizes and individual attention.
