Trinity International Education summer camp provider has announced a new partnership with St. Andrew’s College Language Schools, a Scottish company specialising in summer camps in England and Scotland.
“This partnership with St Andrew’s is a real game changer for TIE.
“Being able to offer more centres in parts of the UK where we do not operate means the conversation with our partners can continue – no one likes to say “no”, and now we can say “yes” more often,” TIE managing director Mark Cook told The PIE News.
Over 1,400 students from 24 different countries took part in TIE summer camps across the UK, the US and Italy in 2024.
The residential programs combine English language learning with daily excursions and social activities in the evening.
St. Andrew’s College Language Schools operates 18 centres across the UK (10 in England and eight in Scotland).

Both companies are accredited by the British Council and offer residential English language lessons with a cultural program, for students aged 11-18.
In a challenging year for English language learning, a recent report from Bonard identified the junior market and short-term study programs as providing the largest growth potentials for ELT.
Cook said that the partnership will lead to both companies’ “betterment”, though they will each retain their unique brand, operations and management.
Trinity’s UK locations include London and Nottingham, with 2025 camps opening on July 2 for four weeks in Nottingham and six weeks in London. Most students come for a two-week period.
Meanwhile, in the US, TIE’s camps will run for four weeks from July 1, 2025, in New York and Malibu, where the company offers lessons in ‘Hollywood English’.
TIE’s Italian destinations include Sestriere, Piemonte and Viareggio in Tuscany.
St. Andrew’s College currently operates in Ayr, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, Leeds, Nottingham, Colchester, Gloucester, Canterbury, Brighton, Kent and London.
