The English Summer School for Children is an intensive English language program organized by Ibn Haldun University for children aged 8 to 14 (who have completed at least the 2nd grade by the end of the 2025 spring semester).
Over the course of four weeks, participants will engage in 140 hours of total content, learning English through enjoyable, hands-on experiences. The program aims to help children gain confidence in speaking, and improve their listening, reading, and writing skills in an engaging environment.
Before the program begins, students take a placement test to ensure they are placed in the appropriate level.
Participants improve their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills through interactive lessons delivered by experienced instructors from the academic staff of Ibn Haldun University.
With a level-appropriate, confidence-boosting, and practice-oriented curriculum, children learn English by living it.
