Campbell College (est. 1894) is one of Northern Ireland’s most eminent schools. It occupies a 100-acre estate in east Belfast, close to the Parliament buildings at Stormont, complete with its own lake and forest! C.S. Lewis was a student there and the campus is said to have served as inspiration for his Narnia Chronicles.
The programme is available to students aged 12 to 16 and includes interaction with local sports teams, drama groups and choirs. There is a strong Hogwarts flavour to the programme which will please any Harry Potter fans – the Sorting Hat is always busy!Â
This is a residential English summer camp*, with accommodation in modern single ensuite rooms. Students and staff dine together in the beautiful dining hall.Â
Classes follow a communicative approach, focusing on authentic language that students can use outside the classroom. Each week is theme-based to ensure consistency and continuity and to give students the opportunity to see new language in context. Themes (for example, ‘You and the Environment’, ‘Social Networking’, ‘We Are All Scientists’) are selected to appeal to the students’ interests and to provide engaging classes that increase motivation. Each week culminates in student presentations based on that week’s theme.
*Homestay considered on request – usually groups only.Â
