What Students learn
 

During this 3-week course students will write extensively and discover different styles of writing through a range of projects including essays, short stories and poetry. Using the world around them and their own experiences as inspiration, students will learn new skills to help them discover their voice.

As well as studying the work of renowned writers students will also benefit from extensive writing practice and expert help from our highly skilled teachers. They may also get the chance to see their work in print if it is chosen as a feature for our summer school magazine, The ISSOS Times.

Students will learn to understand and harness the power of using creative language to produce everything from original poems, scenes from a play or movie, to song lyrics and short stories.
