A British Council Holiday Course is the perfect way to make sure your child gets more out of their break.
We’ve got a wide range of engaging activities for them to try – like exploring creative projects such as filmmaking, listening to stories maybe writing some of their own.
All of these courses are delivered by our expert English teachers to help your child grow their confidence using English, find their voice and develop the global skills they’ll need for the future.
Open to children of all ages, our English holiday courses have English skills at the core and are designed to strengthen your child’s written and verbal English through engaging games, challenges and projects.
So whether they’re trying out photography, crafting an animation masterpiece, expanding their understanding of the environment or exploring a virtual world, they’ll be acquiring key analytical, problem-solving and communication skills they will rely on throughout their lives.
*English holiday courses help your child:
- explore fun age-based activities and projects
- express themselves creatively and try new things
- solve problems individually and in teams
- develop vocabulary, confidence in speaking and critical thinking
- grow writing skills, world knowledge and intellectual curiosity
*Course content may vary according to location. Please check with your local British Council centre.
