Activities
At SBC at Eton College, students can fully immerse themselves in a wide range of fun activities. We aim to facilitate the physical and mental well-being of our all our students by providing a host of activities that allow students to explore their passions and interests beyond the classroom. Our social programme enables new friendships to be made naturally and with ease. Participating in a multi-activity programme provides the perfect setting for a multinational learning community to thrive. Students can choose from participating in high-energy mainstream sports such as football, basketball, swimming and volleyball based at Eton College’s recently redeveloped Sports and Aquatics Centre. There are also more relaxing activities on offer such as baking, arts & crafts, drama and music workshops. The college’s proximity to Eton and Windsor provides our students with the opportunity to spend some of their free time exploring the local area in small groups. In addition, during their time with SBC at Eton College, students will take part in several whole school events such as tournaments, debating, a talent show and a disco. This helps develop key team working and communication skills whilst, most importantly, having fun!
Accommodations
The accommodation at Eton College comprises two boarding houses – one for boys and one for girls. Students will have their own single study bedroom, with shared bathroom facilities. Both boarding houses have comfortable social spaces and facilities in which students can relax during House Time. As an international residential summer school we work in partnership with Eton College and deliver our courses separately from them. Meals Students will have all their meals in the purpose-built dining facilities at Eton College. Meal times offer a diverse menu made by the school’s own caterers who provide a continental breakfast every day (pastries, fresh fruit, yoghurt and cereal), with cooked options available three times each week. For lunch and dinner there is always a choice of at least two hot meals, including a vegetarian option. Students also have a delicious salad bar available to them as well as fresh bread, fruit and desserts. In addition, drinks and biscuits are served before bed. Students will be provided with a packed lunch for excursions. Pocket Money All activities, excursions and meals are included in the price, so the only money needed is for tuck shop snacks, presents or souvenirs. We generally recommend about £70 per week pocket money. We recommend that pocket money is provided on bank cards rather than in cash, for security reasons. Please note that some shops and attractions only accept card payments. If providing your child with cash, please send pocket money in small notes (£5 / £10 / £20) as most places do not accept the larger £50 note. All pocket money (bank cards and cash) is kept in the school safe and can be collected from the office at set times before excursions.
Excursions
During a two-week course, students will go on three fantastic excursions to famous UK cities and popular tourist destinations, providing the opportunity to see some of the UK’s most famous attractions and landmarks. To ensure our students make the most from their trip, our dedicated team of staff accompany the students and provide a full itinerary for the day. During their stay, all students will visit London at least once, but to broaden out student’s cultural horizons even further our programme frequently includes visits to other famous locations, including one of the most famous university cities in the world – Oxford.
Transportation
Summer Boarding Courses offers an Airport Transfer Service to Eton College for any flights to and from Heathrow Airport. This will be in operation throughout the scheduled arrival and departure days and available for all flights between 09.00 and 17.00 at a cost of £75 per journey.
