From the East End to the Globe Theater, discover the world's most iconic stages and write your own mini play!

Dive into the Performance Arts in London’s vibrant theatre scene, as you write and perform a collaborative mini-play. Through expert-led classes, learn how to interpret texts, distinguish between theatrical styles, and take on backstage and acting roles in your culminating show.

Take in all the culture that multicultural London has to offer. Discover iconic landmarks like Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Tower Bridge, and more on a classic double-decker bus tour. Cruise down the River Thames from Westminster Abbey to Greenwich, visit food markets and taste a variety of cuisines from curries to fish and chips. Stroll through Covent Garden famous for its street performers, meet local teens, and so much more.

Experience life outside of London with trips to Oxford, where you can explore its university and canals. Go on an overnight trip to Stratford-upon-Avon, the medieval market town where Shakespeare was born. Don’t worry—we’ll make sure you still have time for the traditional afternoon tea and biscuits!
