Akademeia High School organises Summer School courses, open to all internal as well as external students to participate in. 

These courses are devised, developed and delivered by our highly experienced term time teaching staff and cover a wide range of disciplines and faculties across the school. Lessons are complemented by a variety of co-curricular options, including sports and cultural excursions away from the School. In common with our year-round operations, the summer programmes are informed by our teaching philosophy and overriding mission to help each student reach their full potential and achieve academic excellence.

The courses, conducted exclusively in English, range from Creative and Dramatic Writing and Social Sciences, through to Mathematics, Science and English for Academic Purposes.

Our 2020 courses will be available to book soon. Express your interest.

Co-Curricular

Coming at the end of the school year, Akademeia’s Summer School provides a balanced timetable for students, combining a high-quality academic focus with a varied co-curricular programme.

Sport and co-curricular activities are built into the school day, with sessions led by our own Sports Department staff or teachers.  Available sports will include basketball, volleyball, badminton and much more!

Boarding and Welfare

For students enrolling on one of the two-week courses (Social Sciences and English for Academic Purposes), there are a limited number of boarding places available in accommodation a few minutes walk from Akademeia.

Experienced staff will be on hand to support students staying away from home. Accommodation is available from 28^th June to 11^th July 2020 and, in addition to the weekly educational excursion, boarders will have the opportunity to go on a full day excursion on the weekend of 4^th and 5^th July.

Each evening boarders will also be offered a group activity, ranging from team building exercises to film nights, in order to ensure they get the most out of their stay with Akademeia.
