Dear Parents,

Thank you very much for taking the time to complete the recent survey. We would like to share an update on the level of interest and provide further details about our Summer 2026 programmes. 

Current Level of Interest (as of today)

• 17 families – Claremont Summer School

• 3 families – Embassy Summer (EAL), Cambridge

• 3 families – Embassy Summer – Young Professionals (Mini MBA-style)

We continue to encourage interest in the Embassy Summer programmes. If enrolment does not reach the minimum of 10 students, we will explore combining students with partner schools so that a chaperoned programme can still proceed.

Visa Information

• Parents are responsible for arranging and obtaining the appropriate UK visa for their child.

• The school will provide any required supporting documents related to the programme if needed for the visa application.

• For Thai passport holders studying overseas, UK visa applications may only be submitted in that country if the student holds a valid long-term visa (not a tourist visa).

• Families are strongly advised to contact the UK Visa Application Centre (VFS) directly to confirm eligibility, appointment availability, and processing timelines.

• Early application is highly recommended, particularly during peak summer periods.

If you have any individual questions, please feel free to contact the school directly. The online application link will be shared with families shortly.
