Junior Summer School

Learn English, make friends, and explore the beautiful city of Bath

Bath Academy’s Junior Summer School offers the ideal setting for teenagers to improve their English while enjoying a fun, supportive, and enriching experience. Based in the heart of Bath—a UNESCO World Heritage city known for its stunning architecture and rich history—our city-centre campus provides the perfect blend of learning and adventure.

Our dynamic, creative lessons encourage students to actively participate, build confidence, and develop essential language skills. Lessons focus on practical English, helping students expand their vocabulary, strengthen grammar, and improve speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

We offer both residential and homestay accommodation options, along with a packed programme of exciting afternoon and evening activities—giving students the chance to socialise, explore, and create unforgettable memories.
