Story Explorers
Once upon a time, you joined us for an unforgettable adventure. You got to learn all about how the world tells stories, and how to tell your own. The end. (Or is it?)
Learning
Outline
Great stories don’t just happen by chance. You need to know how to create a character, structure a plot, and grab the reader’s attention then keep it page after page. Learn how to do all that on our engaging Story Explorers course. We’ll teach you how to immerse an audience and craft characters. You might create interactive adventure with comic strips, look at the role of photos and podcasts in modern narration or take inspiration from Britain's best-loved authors. Ready for chapter one?
Teaching methodology
Our teaching for 9-10-year-old students is focused on interactive and task-based learning. You will be taught by experienced primary teachers, who are there to inspire and engage you with the subjects they are passionate about. Our courses run over a week, and during this time you will develop your subject knowledge through multimedia presentations, group work, games, problem-solving, and project work with a meaningful real-life focus.
The Summer Courses experience
Dive into a week of discovery with the option to extend your stay. Our balanced schedule combines morning lessons and afternoon activities across four enriching days, culminating in an exciting Wednesday trip. Subjects come to life over four days each week, supported by supervised homework sessions. Engaging afternoon and evening sessions are complemented by a unique 'house' system, mirroring the camaraderie and friendly competition of UK boarding schools. Additionally, our Wednesday Cultural Trip provides a structured, culturally enriching experience.
