A Day in a Student’s Life at our Summer Program

Your Day at TASIS Summer Program

A summer at TASIS England is like no other.

Located in the quiet village of Thorpe, Surrey, our spacious and secure campus features a charming mixture of old and new buildings with modernized interiors. Best of all, TASIS England is close to international airports, London and all its cultural highlights, as well as adventures parks and sports arenas.

Every year, we welcome bright and curious students aged 11-17 from around the world to our award-winning Summer Program. As they live, learn, and grow here on our stunning campus, they form life-long friendships and create lasting memories.

We offer a variety of innovative and challenging courses. From photography to business, STEM to English language, students can choose classes that develop their skills or explore new interests. Add to this our exciting elective courses and an action-packed afternoon sports program, and students find the days fly by. After dinner and study time, evening activities allow students to get to know other young people from different cultures and backgrounds and practice their English.

Weekends also find TASIS students experiencing full and exciting days, but now the theme is travel. With theatre trips to famous productions in the West End and day trips throughout the South East of England, students have the opportunity to see and experience a taste of the well-known cities, plays, and historical sites on offer.

Weekends are a time to choose your adventure. Whether you learn about the history of Windsor Castle , ride a roller coaster, go paintballing, or discover London - the choice will be yours. Teachers and counselors will accompany the groups to ensure that all trips and activities are both fun and safe. Friday evening and Saturday activities are mandatory for all students. Sunday activities are optional, however we encourage all students to participate as it will enhance their experience of the program.

Dorm Life

Living in a dorm is fun and exciting. Students find that, in addition to making new friends, living in a community atmosphere helps them to develop independence, maturity, and confidence. Boys and girls are strictly segregated, and it is TASIS England’s policy to mix nationalities and languages within individual rooms. Because of this TASIS does not accept special roommate requests. The number of students in each dormitory depends on the size of the facility and the age of the students, as students of similar ages are grouped together. Students are encouraged to keep rooms clean and tidy, and counselors and teachers oversee daily life in the community.

Community Expectations

Most students who attend the TASIS England Summer Program are boarders, and life in a residential school is different from life in a day school. For everyone to live together happily and safely, specific expectations for behavior are set forth formally in writing, as well as informally, and as dictated by common sense.

These expectations are based on the need for community members to conduct themselves in a way that builds mutual trust and respect. Examples of informal expectations for behavior include: arriving to class and activities on time, treating fellow students and teachers politely and respectfully, and using appropriate language. Formal expectations for behavior include, but are not limited to, prohibitions against drugs, smoking, drinking, and stealing. Breaking these rules will result in more serious consequences.

The TASIS England Summer Program reserves the right to dismiss at any time a student who has demonstrated that he or she is an unsatisfactory member of the school community. If in the School's judgment a student's conduct on or away from campus indicates that he or she is consistently out of sympathy with the ideals, objectives, and programs of the School, parents will be required to withdraw the student, even though there may be no infraction of a specific rule.

Insurance

Travel Insurance is included in the cost of the TASIS England Summer Program. This policy covers Personal Injury, Medical Insurance, Personal Belongings, Money, Disruption, and Personal Liability.
