Volunteer
Samiad is one of the largest residential summer schools in the UK, with four campuses and over 1000 students excepted from 70 countries.
We pride ourselves on offering a unique experience by focusing on the following four areas:
We have an industry leading staff to student ratio, meaning we can spend more one-2-one time with our students and our teachers join in with all activities and excursions to encourage the use of English.
We offer unique, high value excursions, including our now famous OVERNIGHT excursions to either a medieval castle or a safari park!
We push the boundaries on what activities can be offered at a summer school, from zombie runs, escape games, assault courses and music festivals
We cap each language to 20%, meaning there is a maximum of 30 children with the same mother tongue at each campus.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-xs”][vc_single_image image=”1194″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right” el_id=”main-image-hidden”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1679051905710{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #eae3ee !important;}” el_id=”locations-block”][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=”highlights”]
