Summer Courses

July and August 2026 intensive blocks at 4S Academy, for families who want a clear reset before autumn, stronger foundations ahead of November IB sessions, or a focused run at US-standardised exams. Teaching is in English, in person at our Barcelona centre (Sant Gervasi) or live online worldwide. Timetable, cohort size, and strand placement are confirmed after a short enquiry.

Mathematics Intensives (All Grades)

IB · A-Level · Spanish national programmes

Summer maths is syllabus-aware and practice-heavy: international, British, and Spanish secondary pathways, aligned to your child's school year and tier where you share them with us.

IB
MYP bridging where needed; DP Mathematics Analysis and Approaches and Applications and Interpretation at SL and HL — skill repair, past-paper rhythm, and calculator discipline.
A-Level
Mathematics (and further preparation where relevant) mapped to mainstream UK specifications; algebraic fluency, paper structure, and timing across exams.
Spanish National Curricula
Compulsory secondary mathematics (ESO) and Bachillerato, including science and technology-oriented options when required. Share syllabus, textbook, or autonomous community pacing so placement is accurate.

Scope: all secondary grades for maths — from consolidation after a difficult year through to DP or Bachillerato entry preparation.

Physics Intensives (Grades 9–12)

IB · A-Level · Spanish upper secondary

Physics runs as a concentrated strand for students who need clearer models, tighter problem-solving loops, and exam-ready numerical practice. Offered for upper secondary only.

IB Physics
SL and HL — core theory, definitions, quantitative skills, and paper-style practice, including data-book expectations where they apply.
A-Level Physics
Topics and skills aligned with common UK specifications; multi-step reasoning, units, graphs, and extended questions.
Spanish National Curricula
Bachillerato and upper ESO physics where the student follows a graded science pathway — share programme details on enquiry.

Scope: Grades 9–12 only (including equivalent years in Spanish secondary numbering).

US Standardised Pathways

Digital SAT · AP Calculus · AP Physics

For students targeting US admissions or dual routes, July and August support high-density blocks without term-time distractions.

Digital SAT
Reading and Writing and Math — pacing, adaptive-module habits, evidence-based questions, Desmos strategy, and error review against a realistic target band.
AP Calculus
AB and BC — differentiation and integration workflows, justification language, FRQ awareness, and timed simulation.
AP Physics
Aligned with AP Physics 1 and AP Physics C (Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism) depending on enrolment — concepts, problem decomposition, and past FRQ practice.

Enquiry:send your child's curriculum (IB, A-Level, or Spanish programme), year group, topic priorities, and preference for July, August, Barcelona in person, or online. We reply with strand fit and scheduling options.

  • July and August Windows

    Camp-style blocks and shorter intensive weeks; strand matched to your goals, including November-oriented IB preparation.

  • Papers and Strategy

    Where exams are the goal, syllabus work is combined with timed papers and debrief — same approach as term-time tutoring.

  • Barcelona or Online

    In person at Carrer Sant Elies or live online, with consistent teaching across modes.

  • Experience

    Led by Suneel Gupta: concept-first, practice-heavy sessions aimed at lasting confidence.
