Courses like The Smallpeice Trust

[namechangedcausebored]

Am curious for other people’s experiences for courses in other subject areas rather than STEM for ages 13+ that don’t cost an arm and a leg, but give a good insight into their subject matter. Thinking lawyers, geography/history based ones etc. My ds has recently enjoyed a course by TST, but his sister tends to enjoy the arts subjects more.

Some here debatechamber.com/

I’ve seen those when googling, but would really like some personal recommendations if possible - have you used them?

Friends of dd have

Bump for more recommendations!

My kids did a few of their courses several years ago and enjoyed them.

My pre teens have taken some really good, live, online, interest-based classes with Outschool www.outschool.com

There's a new British company that has started offering similar classes www.thinkersmeetup.com

Thank you both of you, I hadn’t considered online courses and they look very interesting. There are one or two there that we wil certainly consider - but I would really like some residential recommendations too as that is just as much of a learning experience.

Debate Chamber courses have been excellent for my kids. They have clamoured to return each year (Didn't happen with Smallpeice or EST)

Note that Debate Chamber are week long typically but not residential.

Debate Chamber does look very interesting, a shame that it looks like it’s only based in London though. I don’t supppse anyone knows if similar in Manchester/Liverpool and other northern cities?

Thanks HunkyDory was thinking for next year anyway when she’s old enough - will have a good google about the local uni’s and see what’s currently being offered
