A distinctive academic and social experience designed for students
who are undertaking their final two years at high school.
Our Young Leaders course helps prepare international students for their future at university and beyond by providing the opportunity to study a chosen subject at an undergraduate level. As an intensive two-week programme, you will be immersed in a range of professor-led lectures, interactive workshops, academic excursions, and practical study skills sessions. Students live and study at our Kentish Town campus, so you will be within touching distance of all the city’s main attractions and experience life in a vibrant area of London while you study.
Our intensive summer course combines learning with a great British experience. Students will learn new skills, try fun activities and enjoy the excitement of the big city – all in English.
SCL International College's unique curriculum connects classroom learning to field trips, allowing students to gain background knowledge and understanding of British culture and see history come to life when visiting the city’s top historical sites and attractions.
