Vacational Studies

Vacational Studies is a British Council Accredited live-in English summer course for young people aged 10–18, held at Cheam School in Berkshire.

Running since 1973 under the same director, the programme integrates structured English lessons in small classes with afternoon sports, creative pursuits, and themed evening events, all in an fully English-speaking environment. Students from around the world are admitted by personal recommendation, creating a motivated, positive community.

With experienced, dedicated staff maintaining a warm and supportive atmosphere, students grow in confidence both linguistically and socially. Offering Trinity College London GESE spoken English qualifications in addition to a full social programme, Vacational Studies provides a safe, memorable summer experience that families trust generation after generation.
