Royal Holloway

New for 2027, our camp at Royal Holloway, University of London, is set in 135 acres of Surrey parkland. At its heart is the Founder's Building, opened by Queen Victoria in 1886 and one of the most striking university buildings in the country. Students live and study on a secure campus with open lawns and on-site sports pitches. Windsor is a few miles away and Egham station has direct trains to London Waterloo.

Academic
Programme

ABC students at Royal Holloway
  • English levels: Elementary (A2) – Proficiency (C2)
  • Class size: maximum 15 students
  • Tuition: 15 hours per week
  • Placement test: on arrival

Lessons are topic-based, built around British life and culture, and taught by qualified teachers (minimum CELTA plus a degree). We run a zig-zag timetable, so lessons alternate between mornings and afternoons, and every week ends with a student presentation.

We occasionally receive requests from students outside our 12–17 age range who wish to join as part of a group. Each request is risk-assessed, and final decisions are made by the Designated Safeguarding Lead.
