The ISS program is designed for all ages and abilities, offering a balanced blend of formal English tuition and a variety of tailored activities and thrilling excursions. Set amidst the iconic fells, fields, and rivers of Sedbergh’s historic landscape, pupils are encouraged to step out of their comfort zones, embracing new challenges, and surpassing their own expectations in an action-packed, unforgettable summer experience where personal growth, resilience, and camaraderie are encouraged to create life-long memories and skills that will last a lifetime.
Headmaster's welcome
I would like to extend a warm Sedberghian welcome to international students from all over the world looking for a rewarding summer school experience.
Established in 1525, Sedbergh School is one of only a very few full boarding schools in the UK. Ours is a traditional British boarding school that has maintained the best of British boarding school traditions whilst constantly introducing innovative ideas and new ways of teaching. Our unique International Summer School is an excellent example of this. Owned and operated by Sedbergh School’s own staff, it provides a complete British boarding school experience where students learn English from the finest teachers and, outside the classroom, enjoy an impressive range of sports, excursions and exciting activities.
Now in its tenth year, the summer school is small and friendly. The beautiful surrounding area provides a stunning location and a very safe environment for an exciting learning experience.
We very much look forward to welcoming you to Sedbergh School next summer!
Dan Harrison, Headmaster
