A truly international summer school offers innumerable benefits including a unique opportunity to practise and develop a student’s English language skills both inside and outside the classroom, to learn about different cultures and countries and to make friends for life.

We are always thrilled to hear that the international connections forged during our programs last long after our summer programs have ended. Now more than ever, the opportunity for students to experience lasting bonds with new people from all over the world is something that is truly to be cherished.

Here is what some of our past students had to say about the magic of Reach friendships:

‘I can honestly say that Reach Cambridge has been the most amazing experience of my life!!! I have been so inspired – I can’t wait to get to uni now! The most amazing thing though has been meeting people from all over the world, who I feel like I’ve known for years! We all had so much fun, I wish I could do this every year!’ – Hayley, Australia (studied Medicine & Life Sciences)

‘The friends I made at Reach actually two years ago, I still talk to them, actually every day’. – Jeanne, France & Spain (studied SAT Preparation)

‘I made a lot of new friends and memories that will last forever.’ – Arun, USA (studied Physics and Engineering)

‘This program gave me the opportunity to be educated and make friends and have fun at the same time. I really enjoyed my time here.’ – Uzay, Turkey (studied Biotechnology)

‘I LOVE IT HERE. We learned a lot of different things. I made a lot of new friends from around the world. I learned to cooperate more with people.’ – Natasha, Indonesia (studied Physics)

‘It was amazing how many friends I was able to make here because everyone’s so close together and it’s so inclusive.’ – Savanna, Hong Kong (Medicine & Life Sciences)

‘Coming to Reach Cambridge was by far the best decision I’ve ever made. Sure, at the beginning, I was a bit shy and timid but after a few short days I have easily opened up to everyone due to its welcoming and home-like atmosphere. Everyone is very nice and talented and willing to make many new and wonderful friends. The supervisors are all easily approachable, they are like your teachers but you can still socialize with them on a friend-friend basis. The classes are all very intriguing and interesting, giving me many opportunities to learn and think about my future. I’ll definitely miss this a lot, and I wish I’ll come again next year.’ – Nicole, Australia (studied Chemistry and Medical Sciences)

‘I made a lot of friends and know how to be more independent.’ – Patricia, Indonesia (studied Chemistry and Medical Sciences)

‘Reach Cambridge was so fun! I loved all of the activities and met awesome new friends from across the globe.The course was also very interactive and I enjoyed going to class every single morning.’ – Bianca, Canada (studied Business Management & Economics)

‘Reach Cambridge was one of the best experiences of my life. I learnt so many new things and made friends from all over the world. I hope to come back someday.’ – Sirine, Lebanon (studied SAT Preparation)
