Since 2008, Summer Boarding Courses (SBC) has welcomed Young Learners, aged between 8 and 17 years old, from 151 different countries to study our courses in some of the most prestigious academic institutions in the UK, including Eton College and Oxford University.
SBC is committed to providing our students with an exceptional experience. To create the global citizens of tomorrow, we guarantee a truly multinational learning environment which encourages cross-cultural learning, collaboration and friendship.
SBC is the first, and currently only, summer school provider in the UK to have achieved a perfect 15 Areas of Strength in a British Council inspection. In the EL Gazette ranking tables for UK Junior Courses, SBC has been ranked Number 1 in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. We are very proud of this achievement and will continue to grow and develop our courses to offer students extraordinary experiences.
As a small and growing office we are expanding year on year and where possible we aim to recruit from our short term summer staff before seeking external candidates. A large percentage of our Head Office staff worked at our summer sites before joining us for their full-time careers. As a part of Dukes Education we also have links to many other schools which occasionally offer up employment opportunities to our staff.
Whilst international travel restrictions have been in place, we have worked closely with a number of boarding schools to provide holiday courses for their students who have been unable to return home. We look forward to utilising this experience to provide a safe, secure, and enjoyable experience for all of our students and staff in the coming year.

SBC EQUALITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSIVITY STATEMENT
