Visits by British Boarding Schools

A growing number of British boarding schools are opening their doors to international students who want to get a taste of English boarding school life for a short period of time (less than one term). These so-called immersion courses are a great opportunity to experience regular British school life for two to eight weeks, improve your English and gain valuable experience abroad. In contrast to English language courses, students are fully integrated into boarding school life, attend normal classes and experience everyday life just like British students - from academic subjects to sports, music and clubs. The Immersion Courses are a great opportunity for families whose children cannot or do not want to be away from German school for a longer period of time, or for those who are considering a long-term stay at a British boarding school and would like to get to have a taste of British school life first.

Please contact us if you are interested. Spaces are limited, so it pays to plan early!

We are organising several events on the topic of life at British boarding schools in the first half of 2025. For example, we will

• provide detailed information on the two most common school leaving qualifications, the British A-Levels and the International Baccalaureate Diplome (IB DP),
• guide families step by step through the visa application process or
• invite all students who will be going to boarding school in the autumn to a webinar on how to best prepare for a successful start.

You can find an overview of the topics and dates here. Some of the events will be in German, some in English. They are all free of charge. Please find a list of the topics and dates here.
