Marcela from the Czech Republic

Seonaid from Switzerland
"It was Sophie's second summer in a row at Sidmouth International School — and it was amazing again! Everything is so well-organised, the activity program was refreshed, and it was great for her to reunite with familiar teachers and friends, as well as meet new ones. Our teen was fully engaged, happy, and surrounded by a friendly atmosphere. Her English skills improved quickly through constant communication. Even after the camp, the kids stay in touch. Truly a one-of-a-kind experience! Thank you for her unforgettable summer!"
