Testimonials

De Orleans-Borbon Family

My son started at the Lovell Winter Camps when he was just 3 1/2 and everyone at the camp was so patient and caring and made every moment fun for him. We always felt that he was in safe hands and everyone was very professional. Aside from skiing they always provided fun and educationally age appropriate classes for him and he was able to learn French which is something he was not able to take while in his normal school in the States at his age.

Testimonials

Alexandra Maude-Roxby

Amelia spent a whole magical Winter term at the Lovell Academy when she was eight years old.  We were transitioning from living abroad where she had predominantly been studying in a foreign language, so she needed to be in a position to rejoin her year group at Francis Holland School: an academically selective school in London. There was some catching up to do, so that she was sound and confident, particularly in Maths and English:  this was achieved and far more.

Testimonials

Kleemann Family

It was so nice to  have the opportunity to bring our two daughters, (11-year old twins), back to you this summer! Not as summer campers such as in 2019, (when the girls had their 1st– 3 weeks away from home– experience), but, as future English language students. As we really needed some preparation  to attend this all English-speaking  school, we choose Victoria Lovell and her team to teach both English and maths to our daughters. Who would be a better option?

Testimonials

Alexia & Nicolas

This was the first time at Lovell for our son. The camp had been highly recommended by several friends but it is always a bit stressful when it’s your first time. Our son was extremely happy and enthusiastic about his whole experience, everyone was very kind and professional and it gave him a lot of confidence. He will be returning next year for sure. Thank you Lovell!

Testimonials

Ari - Camper

Testimonials

Bailey Davidson

Excellent! She had a wonderful time every day. I wish I could have been there to see her having fun but there were plenty of great picture. The welcomeness, friendliness, and positive attitude of the staff. The activities were amazing, but the memories are priceless! It is way more than simple childcare. Each day is an adventure and an opportunity to make new friends and learn something new.

Testimonials

Fabiana & Andria

It is a joy to reflect on their first experience, and we are delighted to share our testimonial in gratitude for the meaningful impact Lovell has already had on our children. Our daughters had a truly wonderful time at camp and came home with many special memories. They loved the wide variety of activities, outdoor adventures like hikes and trips, as well as indoor favorites such as gymnastics, tennis, art and language classes, and even cooking, where they learned to make new things for the first time.
