Experience a summer like no other

The Stonyhurst Experience is an exciting opportunity to immerse yourself in an enriching academic and activities-based programme. Our school motto ‘Quant Je Puis – as much as I can’ is our overarching principle and sits at the heart of everything we do.

The Stonyhurst Experience offers a combination of courses for children aged between 10 and 17 years of age. The young people in our care are given the individual attention, encouragement, resources and space to experience student life at Stonyhurst.

Stonyhurst College is the UK’s leading Catholic Independent School for boarders and day students. Set in a magnificent Grade I listed building, the College has a fascinating heritage, fine reputation and excellent facilities.

“Join the family and be part of something special.”

Welcome to the Stonyhurst Summer Experience!

We are all very much looking forward to another summer at Stonyhurst, where lots of fun is had by all. Every year, we are delighted to welcome students from many different countries and cultures, which provides us all with a unique opportunity to learn about the world! This year, not only do we have lots of students from the United Kingdom, but we also have students from Italy, Poland, Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Austria and Mexico.

At Stonyhurst, the needs of our students are our top priority. We are dedicated to providing a safe and relaxing environment where all students can develop their English while building their confidence and generally having a fantastic time.

Student numbers consistently build year-on-year with more activities, entertainment and excursions arranged to reflect our growing Stonyhurst community. This year we are pleased to offer a wide range of programmes. Students can come to Stonyhurst to learn and improve their English and can also participate in our Tennis, Rugby and Netball programmes. We are delighted that our students leave with demonstrably improved skills, with many choosing to return again and again.

We look forward to welcoming you to Stonyhurst this summer!

John Browne, Headmaster

At the heart of everything that we do is delivering an exceptional education and experience for our pupils and ensuring that their formation, both inside and outside of the classroom, is the best in the world. We empower them to be the best that they can be, shaping leaders of the future.

Here at Stonyhurst, we are privileged to live, work and play within glorious surroundings. We are a family, and this means that we have a particularly strong focus on pastoral care and on developing the whole person. We treat each child as an individual; supported and encouraged by the other boys and girls and by strong, talented and extremely committed Summer School staff.
We believe we can give our pupils that extra edge which will allow them to go further in life.

Develop our pupils’ talents by challenging them to give their best in all that they do.

3

Nurture independently-minded young people, able to think for themselves and to stand up for their beliefs.

4

Encourage our pupils to become men and women who will do as much as they can for other people.

5

Provide confidence in using English as a foreign language which will enable our students to learn about others, grow and develop.
