Study English in the summer and have fun with other international students at an English Language Center (ELC) Summer Campus Junior Program.
Offered during July and August, these Summer Junior Programs include our 20-lesson per week Semi-Intensive English Course and daily activities.
You get full-day excursions each Sunday as well as optional Saturday activities.
Special note for 2024 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2024 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2023 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2024 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.
