England | English courses in England with Our World English Schools in England
Dulwich College – English & Activity course (boys and girls, aged 12-17)
Over the past 21 years we have been offering summer courses at London’s prestigious Dulwich College with two very distinct programmes:
English and Activity course for boys and girls aged 12-17
Global Young Leaders course for boys and girls aged 14-17: English through debating
The school is most fortunate to own such extensive green spaces so close to central London: a safe and quiet village setting about 20 minutes’ drive from the city centre.
Dulwich College was founded in 1619 by an associate of Shakespeare and the splendid buildings at the heart of its campus date back to 1868.
As well as valuing its great tradition, Dulwich College is dedicated to providing the very best in modern classrooms, computing, accommodation and sports facilities. Dulwich offers summer students not just a London course in a village setting but also a 21st century campus in a historic environment.

Location of Dulwich College
Dulwich is a quiet village in the South East of London and the College is situated on the A205 South Circular road at the intersection with College Road. Dulwich is about 20 minutes’ drive from Central London. Heathrow and Gatwick Airports are about an hour’s drive from Dulwich.
I really enjoyed meeting people from all over the world. I will keep in touch with all of them. I had a lot of fun and bought many souvenirs.
