Family English Summer Camp in London Highgate

This programme is designed specifically for families with younger children aged 5–11, giving parents and kids an opportunity to start or improve their English together in a calm environment. The focus is on building confidence through age-appropriate lessons and shared experiences, combining language learning with gentle exploration of London and nearby cities. The course offers 20 lessons (about 16.7 hours) of English per week, with children studying at the beautiful Highgate Library and parents at the nearby St Giles Highgate school.​ Lessons follow a general English syllabus with small classes, using interactive, communicative methods to develop speaking, listening and everyday vocabulary for both adults and children.

The full package includes 20 morning lessons per week, three afternoon activities and one full-day excursion per week, as well as light weekday lunches and homestay accommodation in twin rooms with breakfast. Families can also arrange hotel accommodation instead of homestay and may add extra services or excursions upon request.

Accommodation is offered in carefully selected local homestays in Highgate and nearby areas, as well as hotel options for families who prefer more independence and comfort. All options are chosen to provide a welcoming, safe base within easy reach of the school and activity meeting points.

Families receive breakfast every day and light lunches on weekdays at the school, simplifying mealtimes during course days. Evening meals and weekend lunches are not included. Special dietary requirements can be arranged on request for an additional fee.

The activity and excursion programme includes three half-day activities and one full-day excursion per week, with options such as guided London sightseeing, museums, boat trips, soft play centres, petting zoos and visits to cities like Brighton, Cambridge or Oxford.​ Activities are designed for parents and children to enjoy together, giving plenty of opportunities to practise English in informal, fun situations.

Facilities available to families include the well-equipped St Giles Highgate school with modern classrooms, interactive whiteboards, a self-access study centre, student café, bookshop and free Wi‑Fi, as well as the nearby Highgate Library used for children’s lessons. The green surroundings, school garden and easy access to local parks support a comfortable learning environment away from the noise of central London.

St Giles London Highgate is part of a long-established English language organisation with many years of experience in running junior and family programmes. Qualified teachers, small classes, close supervision ratios and a calm suburban setting create a friendly atmosphere where young children and their parents can feel secure, make international friends and make steady progress in English.
