Chester College's English immersion summer camp has been an amazing experience for my 12 year old son. He has had a great time and above all he has been able to practice and improve his English not only through studying, but also by playing and sharing experiences with other children... with specialised staff, within a wonderful environment. The Chester is in a dream location and we can't thank you enough for all the fun he has had in the pool! We only have words of thanks and we will definitely come back! I recommend it 100%. I wish I could have had this experience when I was his age!

Chester is a wonderful community! My teenage son went to the Spanish summer camp and had a great time, in such a family atmosphere... He loved it and is looking forward to next year. Highly recommended.

The staff are incredibly dedicated and go the extra mile, and each student receives lots of personal attention and support. The school is located on a large estate and the children love being outdoors in nature every day.

The Chester College educational project is a magnificent example of what should be central to the current education of all young people today: a combination of closeness/family atmosphere, defense of ethical values and very up-to-date pedagogical methods. Moreover, Chester is located on a very peaceful and quiet estate, an aspect that contributes to inner peace and a spirit of harmony and cooperation in social dynamics.

Chester College International School in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, is a very good international school, run by professional and wonderful people who take the education and welfare of the pupils very seriously. Excellent teachers, with lots of experience. Great summer camps, with native English teachers and lots of interesting and fun activities.

I had an absolutely amazing time this year as a Chester summer camp resident! I have improved my Spanish so much in engaging classes and have made really close friends of all ages and backgrounds through fun sports activities and trips. I have specially loved being a resident as this has allowed me to have lots of fun in the evenings as well with my room mates. I can't wait to return to Chester next year!

Thank you very much for every care and hospitality you showered on me during my stay in your school which left deep impressions on me. Santiago has beautiful scenery and a clean and tidy environment. Although a small city, it enjoys rich cultural heritage. With the guidance of my teachers in your school, I gradually learnt the Galician culture and the unique features of Spain. I loved my teachers who cared so much about me. Among the activities the school organised, the abundant sports activities fascinated me. Moreover, I’m very grateful to the school for finding me a very friendly host family. They always asked me what I needed. If I have time, I will definitely come to the summer camp the next year! Thanks for taking care of me for so many days!

Our daughter (14) really loved her 2 weeks at Chester Spanish camp and is keen to return - maybe for longer- next year. Great activities and teaching and really fun. Well organised too. We are huge fans.
Jess Connors, mother of Pascale, UK.
I have never doubted that my child would be in very good hands at Chester College. I know the school, I know people who work there. There is no lack of experience, attention and care. Everything is very well organized. And children are very well taken care of. I recommend Chester College's Summer Camps!

A wonderful camp with just the right balance of learning and fun. All staff were fantastic making it a lovely convivial atmosphere.
Rachel Firth, mother of Joshua, Ireland.
We absolutely loved Chester International Summer Camp for Spanish. Our two American children made friends from Spain, Ireland, Portugal, France, and England and learned from the best Spanish teacher they have ever had (and they've had many)!
Rachel Burk, mother of Ada and Veronica, United States.
Excellent camp where the children are treated wonderfully. This is our daughter's 2nd summer attending Chester's MINI Camp and we are very satisfied. Fun and learning, hand in hand, plus healthy menus at lunchtime. Our daughter has been happy from day one and already wants to return next year. We will repeat for sure and so will her baby brother.  
Arantza Hernández, mother of Chloé
My daughter has had the most wonderful time whilst she learnt English. She'll definitely be back next year!
Ana López, mother of Carmen
It was my son's first boarding experience at Chester College's Summer Camps and it was just amazing. Every day he came in happy and excitedly told us about his day at Chester over the phone. There is no better way to learn (whatever it is) than when you having a good time. The staff is wonderful, very attentive and caring towards the children at all times. We will repeat and recommend it 100%. On a scale of 1 to 10, our Chester-Experience gets an 11.  
María Terzado, mother of Telmo
As a mother, witnessing the goodbyes at the end of the Camp, all the emotions shared by our daughters and sons are proof of how welcome, warm and tight-knit the community is. The friendship that are formed during camp time are unique, and forever-like. Every year they make progress, they have fun... they keep wanting to come back, summer after summer! The most important testimonials are their own. Their team experiences every summer educate them and shape them in every possible way.
Patricia R. M., mother of Iago, Udane & Noah
It's been a good experience: they learn whilst they have fun!
Sonia Torreiro
Our son has enjoyed Chester's English Summer Camp yet one more year! A month full of learning experiences, companionship, memories and unforgettable values. He has had such a good time that he will return next summer I highly recommend it.
Adela García Aracil, mother of Ximo
For us, as parents, it has been a great experience overall. Our children were very happily engaged in their English classes and all of the activities; these were very comprehensive and well organized. I though the Sports program and the excursions were excellent and appropriate for their respective ages. The parents are kept informed of everything at all times. This has been our first year sending our children to Chester college, but without any doubt, next year we will repeat the experience.  
Lucía Vila
Our children learn English, how to work as a team and establish friendships at Chester that surprise us parents. The general tears at the farewell each year convince us that next summer we will sign them up again.
Julio César Calvo
Chester College's English Summer Camp in Santiago is an excellent program in which our children enjoy learning English in a fun way, within a wonderful natural environment. In addition, my kids really enjoyed the excursions, the talent show, the musicals and they make great friendships. They ask us to come back every year, so we will be back again next summer!
