Gordonstoun International Summer School, UK

Posted: 30 July 2020

Gordonstoun International Summer School has been operating for over 40 years and each year we welcome boys and girls from over 35 nationalities and between the age 8-16 to enjoy a fabulous Scottish summer of learning, fun and friendship. My favourite quote from the 2019 courses was “I really want to come back, but I’m 16 and turning 17 in September, so I can’t. But Gordonstoun will be in my heart forever”

I hope our website provides the information you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact us for further information, we enjoy hearing from you!

We look forward to welcoming you to Gordonstoun.

Gordonstoun International Summer School is held in July and August.  Courses last three and a half weeks and are for boys and girls aged eight to sixteen inclusive.

There is a lively, friendly and family atmosphere during this busy programme; staff, instructors and students all work together to prove the truth of the Gordonstoun School motto – ‘Plus est en vous’ – “There is more in you than you think”.

Teachers and instructors at the Summer School all are professionally qualified and have experience in teaching and training boys and girls from all parts of the world.

Students will receive instruction in English as an Additional Language or, for those boys and girls who are fluent in English, they can choose one of the following: Information Technology or Literature and Creative Writing or French Language or Film and Photography.

Arts and Crafts, Technology, Confidence Building, Music Making, Drama, Sailing and Sport will be integrated into the programme and students will be helped further to develop self-reliance through Adventurous Activities and Ocean Cruising. Recreational and optional activities are also offered.
