BLISS Summer School at Loretto

Afternoon electives, evenings and excursions

Afternoons are electives. Multi activities and mixed summer sports are part of the weekly price, and creative arts is offered too. Discovery (£185 a week), golf (£270), outdoor adventure with kayaking, paddle boarding, rafting and surfing (£305) and horse riding (£395) carry a weekly supplement. Extra English in groups of up to five costs £30 an hour. There is an activity programme every evening and two full-day excursions a week, depending on arrival and departure days. At Loretto the multi activities option includes trips to the beach.

Boarding and supervision

Students live in Loretto’s boarding houses in shared rooms. The price covers accommodation, all meals, bedding and Wi-Fi. A residential pastoral team is on site 24 hours a day. Stays run Sunday to Sunday or Wednesday to Wednesday, and extra nights are £89 when available. Students get a certificate at a graduation ceremony at the end of their stay.

Getting there and booking

Minibus transfers to and from Edinburgh Airport cost £55 each way on Sundays between 9am and 3pm. Other transfers are quoted on request. A 10% deposit confirms the booking and the balance is due by 15 May 2027. BLISS can help with visa paperwork, and all students need their own medical and travel insurance.
