Last week, we were visited by Jenny Needham from Gordonstoun school, a prestigious boarding school located in Scotland in the UK.
Gordonstoun hosts its International summer school in July and August each year. The course lasts for approximately 3 weeks for boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 16 years. Students follow courses appropriate to their ages group and can choose from courses such as French, ICT or English Literature.
After watching the summer school DVD last week, it became very clear that this summer school is not all about work. There are adventure activities each day such as kayaking, gorge walking, abseiling and mountain biking. The students also spend three days on board one of Gordonstoun's yachts sailing around the stunning coastline.
