ISSFT International Summer School for Teens is delighted to announce that it has been recognised as a winner in the Education & Training Awards 2026.

The award recognises ISSFT's ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional summer experiences for international teenagers through a combination of academic enrichment, English immersion, cultural exploration, and personal development.

Each summer, students from around the world join ISSFT to study at some of the UK's most iconic university locations, develop new skills, build confidence, and form lifelong international friendships. This latest recognition reflects the dedication of the entire ISSFT team, including teachers, counsellors, operations staff, and university partners who work together to create a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment for young people.

Daniel Rowe, Marketing Director at ISSFT, said:

"We are incredibly pleased to receive this recognition. While awards are always appreciated, our greatest achievement remains the positive impact we have on our students. Seeing young people grow in confidence, make new friends from around the world, and leave with unforgettable memories is what motivates our team every summer."

The award follows a period of continued growth for ISSFT, including the expansion of its programmes and the introduction of new opportunities for students seeking a truly international summer experience.

ISSFT would like to thank its students, families, staff, and partners for their continued trust and support.

As preparations continue for another exciting summer, the team looks forward to welcoming students from around the world to Oxford and St Andrews for what promises to be another memorable season.
