Following an incredible Spring Course, demand for our summer school is higher than ever. Here is what happened, and why you need to act before it is too late.
Summer 2026 begins 28th June. Places are limited - do not wait. |
Spring 2026: What an Incredible Course!
We have just wrapped up our Spring 2026 programme - and what a course it was. Eighty students joined us from across the globe, from East Asia to South America, coming together on our beautiful East Sussex campus for three weeks of English language learning, cultural exchange, adventure and friendship.
The energy, the laughter, the progress, it was everything that makes BOSS what it is. And the results speak for themselves.
80 students from around the world | 100% Trinity College London pass rate | 10+ nationalities on one campus |
100% Pass Rate - Every Single Student
Every student who sat their Trinity College London Graded Examination in Spoken English passed, and we could not be prouder. Trinity College London is one of the most respected English language examination bodies in the world, and achieving a 100% pass rate is a true reflection of the dedication our students showed throughout the course and the exceptional preparation provided by our academic team.
A huge congratulations to every student who passed. And an equally huge thank you to our fantastic teachers, who worked tirelessly to make it happen.

Introducing the Young Leader Award - A BOSS First
Spring 2026 saw the launch of something completely new at BOSS: the Young Leader Award, offered in partnership with the Leadership Skills Foundation. We are delighted to report that it was an outstanding success.
For the first time, our students were not only developing their English, they were developing as leaders. Through structured workshops, team challenges and real-world problem-solving exercises, they built the kind of skills that go far beyond the classroom: communication, confidence, resilience, decision-making and the ability to inspire others.
What is the Young Leader Award?
|
Watching our students step up, take responsibility and discover what they were capable of was one of the highlights of the course. The Young Leader Award will be running throughout Summer 2026, and we cannot wait to see what this summer's students achieve.
What Is New for Summer 2026?
Summer 2026 brings everything that has always made BOSS special, world-class English language teaching, a vibrant international community, unforgettable friendships and more. Here is what is new this year:
Young Leader Award | Running for the first time in summer, the Young Leader Award from the Leadership Skills Foundation gives students a formally accredited leadership qualification alongside their English studies. |
Harry Potter Studios Excursion | Students will visit the legendary Warner Bros. Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter - walking through real sets, props and costumes from the films. An experience they will never forget. |
Leeds Castle Excursion | A brand-new addition to our excursion programme. Leeds Castle in Kent is one of England's most beautiful and historic castles - a stunning day out that brings British history to life. |
And more... | London Dungeons, Shrek's Adventure, Bodiam Castle, Bedgebury Pinetum and Go Ape! |
Why You Need to Book Now
Every year, we receive calls and emails in late May from families who have left it too late. Places are gone. The course is full. It is one of the most frustrating phone calls we have to make, telling a family there is no room.
We are not in that position yet. But we are heading there fast. Summer 2026 has seen strong demand since November, fuelled by the success of our Spring Course and growing interest in leadership focused English language programmes. Our most popular arrival weeks are already filling up, and once a week is full, it is full.
If you are thinking about it, stop thinking. Book now. The worst thing that can happen is that they have the best summer of their life.
Summer 2026 starts 28 June. Secure your place today before your preferred dates are gone. |

See You This Summer
Spring 2026 set the bar high. Our students achieved things they did not know they were capable of. They made friends they will keep for life. They went home as more confident, more capable, more globally-minded young people, and they left with internationally recognised qualifications to prove it.
Summer 2026 is going to be even better. The leadership programme is stronger. The excursion programme is bigger. The campus is ready. The team is ready.
The only question is: are you?
