Us Our Schools Beyond the Classroom Contact Experiences As any parent knows, so many of the most valuable life lessons happen beyond the classroom. Outside of school hours, Dukes offers a host of educational experiences at our summer schools and day camps for students from all over the world. I can see that Jana gained many benefits through her experience with SBC — starting with developing a high level of independency and boosting her self-confidence, and ending with making good friends with nice people from all over the world. HEBA, PARENT, EGYPT Summer schools & day camps The adventures kids experience at camps and summer schools are an important part of the educational journey. They offer new ways to learn, both academically and socially, as well as encouraging them to brave new environments and try their hands at new skills. We’re delighted to have two of the UK’s leading international summer school providers, Summer Boarding Courses (SBC), and Varsity International, as well as an outstanding provider of kid’s day camps – Ultimate Activity Camps, as part of the Dukes family.
