Summer School English Teachers (Residential)

We are delighted to announce that Stonyhurst Summer School will return for 2024. The Summer School will run between the 10th July 2024 to the 10th August 2024.

We’re looking forward to welcoming 160 students from across the globe for both the English Language Courses and Stonyhurst Scholars’ programme in July - August 2024. The teaching is rooted in the rich historical tapestry of the school and inspired by characters who walked these very halls.

The Language school boasts a unique curriculum with themed weeks centred on literary legends Tolkien, Shakespeare and JK Rowling and former Stonyhurst student and author of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conon Doyle. The Scholar’s Programme is new for 2024 and wishes to empower gifted high school students with the tools for their future endeavours, whether that be further studies or steps into their future careers. Every student who stays at Stonyhurst, whether for two weeks or a full year, is surrounded by the Stonyhurst mission , Quant Je Puis, All that I can.

As an English teacher, you'll differentiate and deliver pre-planned lessons tailored to individual student needs, fostering a student-centred approach. Experienced applicants will have the opportunity to provide additional support, contributing to the growth of less experienced teachers and potentially leading teacher development sessions.

As a Teacher at Stonyhurst Summer School, you will embrace our framework syllabus, focusing on language skills and interactive language use whilst maintaining administrative paperwork diligently, ensuring a safe, tidy, and disciplined classroom environment. Your role extends beyond traditional teaching, participating in the appraisal scheme, attending daily staff meetings, and monitoring student performance throughout the course.

As a member of the Summer School team, you will have access to the incredible facilities at Stonyhurst, including gym and swimming pool access and all meals provided.
