English for children and teenagers who want to make the most of their holidays
Daily classes throughout the week help overcome the language barrier and communicate more confidently in English. Choose an intensive course, urban language camp or speaking club at our Kyiv school or online.
Programmes
Choose the format that suits you: an intensive grammar refresher, a daytime language camp or a lively speaking club. Classes follow a communicative approach and are led by internationally qualified teachers. Summer 2027 programmes and prices are set after New Year — leave a request and a manager will let you know as soon as they are ready.
Day format
We have combined the intensity of an international Cambridge programme with the relaxed format of a holiday, so that children enjoy learning without feeling tired.
A daily rhythm from Monday to Friday delivers consistent results without the need for homework. An hour and a half is the optimal attention span for a teenager, leaving the rest of the day for sport, hobbies and summer relaxation.
No teacher monologues or copying exercises from a textbook. Classes take the form of debates, simulations, case studies and team projects. The teacher moderates the conversation and guides the students’ speech.
For in-person learning, we have created a safe space: spacious air-conditioned classrooms and a certified shelter inside the building. And for those who have left for the summer, full online groups are available on Zoom.
Formats
How to get started
We make sure every child joins a group at the right level, where communication is easy and engaging.
A short test and a friendly 10-minute conversation with a teacher to determine the level accurately (A2, B1 or B2).
Four groups start in July. You choose the format (intensive course, camp or club), location (Kyiv or online) and dates that suit you.
Meet the teacher and peers, practise every day and make confident progress in the language without boredom.
Level test
Take a quick online test and receive a personal consultation with the school’s academic adviser. It is free and will help you choose the ideal summer group.
For children under 10, the assessment takes the form of a friendly conversation with a teacher.

Hello! I’m Nastia — an English teacher who loves planning and learning just as much as teaching. I hope to share my enthusiasm for the language and help students see challenging tasks as an opportunity rather than an obstacle.
«English does not care whether you were born in an English-speaking country or first began thinking about learning it as an adult — it is equally open to everyone. Don’t listen to your doubts. Find a teacher who believes in you and whom you can trust.»
