More about this camp

The Kings Malibu Summer Centre runs the Kings Summer Course at Pepperdine University, on a campus overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Malibu, California. It accepts students aged 10 to 17. Programme and activities. Students take 15 hours of English lessons per week alongside a full programme of activities and excursions. The setting — a celebrated clifftop Californian university campus above the Pacific — is the distinguishing feature, and few programmes in this catalogue offer a US West Coast location. Accommodation. Students stay in residential campus accommodation at Pepperdine University, supervised by Kings residential staff. Living on the university campus keeps accommodation and teaching together; families should confirm room arrangements and, as a university rather than a school, what supervision applies outside teaching hours, though Kings provides its own staff. Ages, dates and duration. The centre accepts students aged 10 to 17. Six arrival dates are listed from early July. Location and travel. Malibu is on the coast west of Los Angeles, California. Los Angeles International Airport is the arrival point, well connected from Europe and Asia. Families travelling from outside the US should check visa requirements well in advance, as these are not covered here, and confirm how the transfer from the airport is handled. Who the programme may suit. This centre may suit families wanting a striking Californian campus experience with English tuition, drawn to the West Coast specifically. It may suit less well families wanting a shorter or lower-cost trip, given transatlantic or transpacific travel. Kings also runs a New York centre in this catalogue for families preferring the East Coast; visa planning should start early for either.
