MILE Bilingual School
MILE’s summer school offers primary-aged children a creative and active programme delivered entirely in English, blending hands-on art, movement and outdoor adventures.
In the classroom, children get stuck into two distinctive workshop strands. The Lego Printing workshop introduces them to the world of graphic art through relief printing, using Lego Dots to create their own plates and print original artworks by hand. The art workshop takes inspiration from Mondrian’s bold geometry and the vibrant mural traditions of the Ndebele people, with children using shape and colour to express their emotions through their own silhouettes.
Beyond the classroom, the programme includes sports, yoga and a series of local outings (among them a visit to an adventure park and an educational farm) giving children plenty of opportunities to learn, move and explore beyond the school walls.
