For summer 2026, due to Covid restrictions, we are offering 3 Online academic class choices for 2 weeks from July 2nd - 16th - for both UK and international students. Students choose one option, between Business & Entrepreneurship or Creative Writing (both of these suitable for 13 - 18-year-olds), and Study Skills (15 - 19-year-olds).

ISSOS Online is our new online summer school programme for students aged 13 - 18. It offers three of our most popular academic subjects in a 2-week online learning course.

The courses are delivered as a blend of Live Online Classes (run twice daily to suit students in lots of time zones), group work, project work, pre-loaded learning content and lots of additional activities outside of the academic classes (for instance our university admissions workshop, yoga workshops etc).

Our two-week online summer school has been developed to meet the needs of high school students around the world. Each course offers over 50 hours of learning material, delivered as a blend of Live online classes, one to one catch-up sessions with a tutor, and pre-loaded content to help students gain valuable academic skills.

Live online classes will run daily, Monday to Friday, with times scheduled to cater for all time zones so that students can find an option that will work wherever they are in the world.

When our school campuses return in summer 2026, we will continue to offer the online study options as a permanent addition to our services.
