The Samiad British Summer Schools camps completely redefined the concept of educational vacations for Brazilian teenagers. Founded in 2013, the institution developed an innovative methodology that combines learning English with immersive adventures at some of the most prestigious campuses in England.

Unlike traditional programs, Samiad camps operate through themed missions where teenagers assume specific roles in scenarios such as “Mission: Mars” or “Mission: Outbreak”. This gamified approach keeps young people from 11 to 18 years old constantly engaged, transforming each day into a new educational discovery.

Revolutionary methodology: missions vs conventional classes

Immersive learning system

Samiad abandoned the traditional classroom model to create educational experiences based on interactive narratives. For two weeks, teenagers participate in scenarios where each activity contributes to the larger objective of the mission.

Mission: Mars places students as the first colonizers of the red planet. Teams compete to establish sustainable habitats, resolve technical crises, and maintain communication with the Earth. This structure develops:

  • Critical thinking through practical problem solving
  • Effective communication in English during challenging situations
  • Natural leadership in a multicultural environment
  • Collaborative work with young people of 80+ nationalities

Constructive competition between colonies

The competitive element creates an engaging dynamic where each project, presentation, or challenge contributes to the teams' overall score. This natural gamification keeps motivation high throughout the program, a common problem in other educational programs for teenagers.
