Awards and Accreditations
As one of the longest-running summer schools in the UK our programmes have a long standing reputation for excellence.
Our summer programmes are accredited by the BAC in the UK and licensed by the Connecticut Office of Early Childhood in the USA, meaning we have to meet consistently high standards to be able to operate.
