The Heritage Summer School runs for six weeks, and offers School students and other young people the opportunity to enjoy a valuable and rewarding experience during the summer vacation. It is also useful for those joining the School in the following September in order to feel more comfortable within a new environment by starting in a slightly less formal way. Uniform is not worn  and emphasis is placed more on fun, musical, artistic and sporting activities  than on academic pursuits. Extra lessons are also available for those wishing  to improve levels of English or other subjects.
