About Taunton School International Summer
The story, ethos and character of Taunton School International Summer.
- Head
- Mrs Tabby Spearing Summer School and Short Course Director
Taunton School International Summer School is set in our beautiful traditional school campus on the edge of Taunton town. Our International Summer School courses run for two, four or six weeks through July and August. All students sit an English placement test on arrival and are placed in age-appropriate level classes for their Academic English level.
As such, we endeavor to avoid classes where students are too widely spread in terms of age and/or ability. A balanced nationality mix is important to Taunton School. We aim for 10% of students from any one nationality on each course therefore giving students more opportunities to speak and improve their English.
The boarding houses are fully staffed by experienced house parents and students share a room with up to three other students, none of whom will speak the same so that English is used as much as possible to encourage development of skills.
Highly experienced at welcoming and teaching International Students (since 1996). Wide range of Summer School courses to suit a variety of needs for ages 8-17. Unique all round experience sets it apart from other schools. Superb facilities. Ideal preparation for entry into a British Boarding School to study GCSEs, A Levels and the IB Diploma.
School history Taunton School was founded in 1847. Originally housed in what has now become one of the boys' boarding houses, Fairwater, the school moved to its current location in 1870. The now Grade II listed gothic-style building was constructed by Joseph James, complete with an impressive tower.
