Summer 2026

A Summer that Counts

Learn big. Build real. Shine bright.

SCISS — SC International Summer School

SCISS — SC International Summer School is a residential, hands-on summer program where motivated students (Grades 4–12) learn from inspiring mentors, build real projects, and make friends from around the world. It's safe, structured, and designed to spark confidence—so your child comes home proud, skilled, and excited for what's next.

SCISS campus and students

At SCISS, we blend big ideas with practical doing. Across June–August 2026, students live and learn on our residential campus, rotating through expert-led sessions, team workshops, and guided projects. We group learners by level (Junior: G4–G7, Senior: G8–G12) so every student is appropriately challenged and supported.

Students learning in expert-led sessions

Parents love SCISS because the outcomes are clear: stronger study habits, standout portfolio pieces, and a supportive global network that lasts long after summer ends.
