What is Summer School?
A summer school is a school or school session conducted in the summer enabling students to accelerate progress toward a diploma or degree, to make up credits lost through absence or failure, or to round out professional education. The students usually stay at the place where the summer school is being held. During June – September period, classes at universities and most higher education establishment are always on break. Classes usually last from one to two months. This kind of programs are not compulsory for students and no student will be under any pressure to attend them.
Reasons To Attend Summer School
There are list of benefits when a student attend summer school, especially for foreign students:
- Learning new things – Most students choose to take part in summer schools to learn a whole different skill or subject that is closely related to their course or is not even related! Most summer schools offer non-academic courses which enables you to broaden your capability and experience. Most times summer schools don’t have to be attended when you want to start your degree, you can attend one between your course study terms.
- Settle into a new environment – Attending trips like this is also a great time for foreign students to settle in a new environment that will be their new place of residence for a couple of weeks. Settling in a new country may be hard for a new student. There are different ways of life, food, people, weather and music to adapt to. By going to this kind of school programs abroad, you can adapt to your new country without the stress of your university workload.
