Summers will never be the same again. 

RETHINK Summer School presents once again a unique experience for children from 4 to 16 years old. Through a variety of creative activities, children use the English language to explore the world around them.

The aim of RETHINK Summer School is for children and teenagers to use the language to its fullest potential. Children are divided into different age groups and with selected activities according to their language level they are engaged creatively and recreationally, practising English in a natural way.

What do planets have in common with dinosaurs? Can the Olympian Gods and Disney heroes coexist? Of course! Only at Rethink Summer School. And not only that. An English-speaking programme based on familiar stories of the past, of the present and mysterious tales of the future are brought to life through educational activities in English, adapted to the students’ ages. Children practice the language and stimulate their imagination with fun activities such as:

  • Arts & Crafts
  • Drama
  • Creative Play
  • Nursery Rhymes
  • Science Experiments

Super Heroes. Was Nikola Tesla one of them? Or is it just Superman? When he flies, does he use the same aerodynamics as aeroplanes? And when he flies in space, does he know the Constellations he flies by, or does he learn them at that very moment?

These and many other science and arts answers students explore in this age group as they practise their English language skills, and at the same time enrich their general knowledge through imaginative activities such as:

  • Arts & Crafts
  • Problem-solving Activities
  • Web-quests
  • Science Projects
  • History Projects

Andy Warhol was a painter and is associated with Pop Art. Pop like the songs we listen to? Did he also sing rock like Queen? And what does Queen Elizabeth II have to do with Australia? And how many species of animals are native to Australia, which is both an island and a continent?

A combination of scientific and theoretical disciplines and various art forms form the basis of this age group. Children are invited to explore major technological and scientific achievements, as well as artistic masterpieces from around the world.

They also learn to conduct research and compose their own presentations, enriching both their knowledge and practicing their language skills to the fullest extent through creative tasks including:

  • Creative Writing
  • Exploring the Arts
  • History Projects
  • Presentation Skills
  • Science Projects

Science and the arts form the basis of this age group. Teenagers are challenged to explore major technological and scientific achievements as well as historical events. They are also asked to examine how different forms of art have evolved over the centuries. 

All topics are adapted to the level of difficulty for levels B1 – C1+, as defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

Students have the opportunity to further develop all 4 language skills, as well as their critical thinking. At the same time, they strengthen their linguistic competence as native speakers of the language through topic-based activities specifically designed to keep teenagers engaged. Indicatively, the activities cover the following aspects:

  • Biology & Nature Projects
  • Experiments
  • Health & Medicine Projects
  • History Projects
  • Presentation & Debate Skills

Information 

Rethink Summer School Structure

The topics are different each day, so if a student chooses to do the entire 4-week programme, they will not repeat any of the topics or activities.

Due to the nature of the programme, there are limited places for each period per age group.
