A summer school– the perfect way to try out boarding life, boost your English, and enjoy an unforgettable holiday. Like American summer camps, they offer sports, culture, activities, and new international friends – all with plenty of fun.
At von Bülow Education, we work only with top boarding schools offering outstanding summer programmes and help you secure the place that best fits your child.
Word of the week
Visa
Whether a visa is required depends on how long your child will be attending school in the United Kingdom: no visa is required for stays of one or one and a half terms (i.e. less than 180 days). In addition to a valid passport, an electronic travel authorisation (see ETA) is required for entry. Important: the school must confirm the stay in writing.
For stays longer than six months, pupils between the ages of 4 and 17 need a Child Student Visa.
The school will issue an official document called a CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies) in advance. The visa fee is £524 for applications made outside the UK.
In addition, there is an Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS), a contribution towards the healthcare of foreign students. This amounts to £776 per year plus £388 in the first year, even if your child has private health insurance. (as of September 2025)
