Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide ambitious young minds with the foundations for success in a global context.

To this end, we offer life-changing experiences at centres of academic excellence across the English speaking world, together with guidance on applying to top universities and on pursuing top careers.

Our philosophy is that success depends not just on the ability to memorise and prepare for examinations, but also on critical and independent thought, on commitment and passion, on creativity and imagination, on teamwork and debate.

A different kind of summer school

• A summer programme designed for ambitious students who want a head start in preparing for university applications and for life as young adults.

• For students seeking to experience real campus life at some of the most famous and prestigious universities in the UK, the USA, Australia and New Zealand.

• Introduction to university academic subjects that students may major in at university. • Professional preparation for university applications and interviews. • Tours and meetings with the admissions directors of the top universities in each country to help

enable students to decide which universities they should apply to. • Strong cultural learning programme with study visits to the major historical and tourist sites of each

help students shine on the “international stage.”• Approximately 300 students attended our Cambridge and UC Berkeley summer programmes last

Questions?1. Timetables

– Available for download on our website

2. What’s included– Accommodation, tuition, breakfast, dinner, activities, airport transfers, travel insurance, and domestic taxes

3. What’s not included– Airfare and lunches are not included in the price. Students will be given a chance to head out into town for lunches, where

they can purchase their own food, and also do a little shopping.

4. Flights– Airfare is not included in the price, but we can give you a list of recommended flights to book from your home country

5. Medical / Travel insurance– We have included medical insurance in the programme fees. In the USA, the policy does not cover personal possessions, and you may

wish to take out additional insurance. In other countries, the policy does cover most personal possessions. But please note that none of the KE policies includes personal electronics, e.g. laptops, digital cameras, mobile phones. Please contact us for more information about insurance and the detailed benefits/coverages.

6. Language requirements– We accept native speakers of English and learners at intermediate level or above (min. equivalent levels of 5.5 [IELTS] or 90

[TOEFL iBT] or B2 [CEF]/FCE)

7. Accommodation– For our centres, KE uses the premises of universities, which are available to certain groups during their summer vacation

periods. They vary quite a lot from city to city, country to country. But they have all been carefully inspected by our senior staff and all of them, in their different ways, are great centres for our programmes. Most of our accommodation is based in single or twin rooms, but in some cases, there are triples. If you’d like to share accommodation with a friend, please tell us on your application form.

Questions?7. Laundry

– At all centres, bed linen is supplied and laundered once a week. Bath towels are also provided. In the United States and Canada, students are generally responsible for making up their own beds; in other countries, this is generally done by the centre staff. Students are responsible for doing their own personal laundry, for which a small charge is usually made. Our staff will provide assistance.

8. Teachers– Our teachers come from the best universities and have included several Rhodes, Gates, Fulbright, and

Marshall scholars.9. Class size

– Programme groups have 40-50 students, with each teaching class with a maximum of 15 students per class.10. Nationality mix

– We welcome students from all over the world. In the past, countries represented have included the USA, Switzerland, Croatia, Lebanon, Sweden, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Bulgaria, New Zealand, Malaysia, China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore. We’re planning to increase the range of nationalities still further. Many of our students come from international schools where there is a very wide range of nationalities represented. So, for example, even though they may travel from and return to Malaysia, they may not necessarily be Malaysian, but perhaps the children of people who happen to be working there.

11. How many years established– We were established in 2012, and welcomed over 300 students last season in 2015!
