PSA SUMMER SCHOOL

JUNE-JULY

Summer Program Expertise;

PSA has successfully operated a youth camp for international students since 2004. The camp is an extremely busy program, which combines intensive English study with myriad trips and language-learning activities.

Short summer sessions have also been a vital part of the PSA year-round regular intensive English program. We have successfully adapted curriculum and instruction to meet the particular needs and interests of summer participants.
