Global Studies Summer 2020

The decision to cancel Felsted International Summer School on May 1st 2020 was a very difficult one. Having spent the best part of the academic year making plans and provisions as well as recruiting students from all over the world to attend this programme, it was a very sad time for the school. However, this was ultimately the right decision. Our commitment to the safety and wellbeing of our students remained an absolute priority, and with that in mind, we wanted to ensure that we could at least provide them with an online opportunity to take part in the programme.

Working with our parents from over 40 countries around the world, the Felsted Team were able to provide both a Global Studies and English Language online course for over 670 students. The course was flexible by design but provided a superb opportunity for our students to connect and to learn together. In addition to our lessons, we also offered virtual excursions and an online yoga course as part of the programme, which the students really enjoyed.

To demonstrate what we were able to provide, and to give you an insight as to what was achieved in the summer of 2020, please see below our course brochure and highlights video.

“I was so excited about the program content and viewing every subject from different perspectives. I really enjoyed the live meetings and the chance to make friends from around the world!”

“The course has been enriching and eye-opening and I was so sad that it ended! It's unarguably been the best online program I've experienced during this lockdown, and I've had lots!”

“We had the opportunity to exchange inputs with other students from all around the world over current issues concerning the pandemic and that has been a great way for me to broaden my perspective as a learner”
