Corporate Vision Many students from across the globe spend the summer holidays doing very little, only to regret it as the countdown to going back to school begins. This is why the personalised experiences that ISSFT offers at two of the UK’s premier academic institutions, England’s University of Oxford and Scotland’s University of Stirling, are a perfect alternative to doing nothing. Both of these locations are not only set against stunning backdrops, but their world-leading status makes them the perfect precursors to the full university experience. The same can be said for the programmes themselves, which see academic classes intertwined with the likes of supervised activities and plenty of opportunity for free time with friends. Over the course of a typical day, students start by studying their chosen academic subject. There is an emphasis on English across these courses, but other subjects available include entrepreneurship, leadership, study skills, and even an introduction to law course complete with an international relations add-on. Progressing through to the afternoon, students will move on and partake in an activity, again one that is chosen by them ahead of time. These usually take the form of a sporting or creative interest, and range from golf at premier courses, tennis, football, and basketball through to the likes of photography, coding, and theatre. Once the day’s classes are over, ISSFT’s full sporting and creative entertainment programme kicks in, with this comprised of everything from interhouse games to social events and even live entertainment. As the week winds down and the weekend approaches, students can enjoy excursions to a variety of historical landmarks, as well as take part in a range of additional activities and sports different from the ones that they are committing time to during the week. In essence, this is what a typical week will look like across the threeweek-long programmes that ISSFT runs, all from home bases that include four-star accommodation with en-suite bathrooms, as well as three freshly cooked meals and a healthy snack daily, all included in the price. “I appreciated the philosophy of the school that every person is an individual with their own strengths.
