About us
International Summer Courses is an independent directory of summer school programmes — in-person courses in cities and schools around the world, plus one-to-one research tuition online.
What we do
Choosing a summer programme means weighing up ages, subjects, teaching styles and cities all at once. We bring every programme together in one place, so you can compare options side by side and filter by what matters to you — the student's age, the subject they love, and the city they want to live in.
The programmes
In-person courses come in two kinds. Academic Insights programmes dig into a university-style subject — from Medicine in Cambridge to Artificial Intelligence in Toronto. Career Insights programmes take a more practical angle, with industry visits and professional mentors in cities like London, New York and Tokyo. The TED Summer School in London, New York and Singapore helps students research, write and deliver their own talk. Online, the Research pathway pairs students with a tutor for one-to-one project work.
Independent and free to use
