Our Mission and purpose of our summer school:

At SKOLA, our students will learn English and discover other cultures. We hope this will help them understand themselves and the world around them better. Not only will they learn about British culture from our teachers but also about the cultures of other students on the course.
Our Rules are the principles that our culture is based on and are visible in day-to-day interactions.

To be ready: for our staff to be ready to teach and students ready to learn

To be kind, to ourselves, each other, and our environment

To be safe: to mitigate risks so we can be adventurous and open to new ideas.

Our Values are what we hold dear and that which bind our community together.

Skill we value skilled educators and learners linking skills and knowledge

Kind - we value being kind to ourselves, each other, and our environment

Open we value being open-minded and welcome different perspectives

Language we value clear and concise spoken, written, and visual communication

Adventure we value exploring new ideas and new places, safely.

Our Priorities are what we will do in the year ahead and are based on our values.

As we value skills, we will develop our training programmes for our teachers this year.

As we value kindness, we will nurture our relationships with our families and agents, and investigate how to reduce the climatic impact we have on the world.

As we value openness to new ideas, we will discover and implement new ideas in teaching and learning in our next summer school.

As we value languages, we will develop our knowledge of English as well as commit to learning other languages to communicate better.

As we value a spirit of adventure, we will look to develop our 10-17 course with sessions in exploring and leadership to better prepare our students for the modern world.
