Not every experience in England begins with a change of school.
Some families want to get a taste of what boarding school is like, are looking for a course during the holidays, or are specifically preparing for a longer stay at boarding school.
What they all have in common is a broader perspective that opens up new horizons. And for those who want to take it further: we sit down together, discuss subjects and future prospects, and select the right school from our network of 200 partner schools.
English language courses at British boarding schools
English lessons in small groups of 8 to 12 students, 15 to 20 hours a week, combined with sport, music, excursions and an international environment.
Many summer schools focus on specific subjects, such as mini-MBAs, sustainability or digital communication. The courses are aimed at 12- to 17-year-olds. We have been working with over 50 certified providers for decades.
Please let us know your preferred dates, age, interests and preferred duration, and we will send you a selection.
Immersion: Two to eight weeks
Boarding school during the school year
Many of our partner schools offer international students the chance to immerse themselves in everyday British school life for two to eight weeks: regular lessons, sports, clubs and boarding house life. They are fully integrated into lessons and boarding school life.
What our pupils say about their time at boarding school > Student voices
Sometimes it starts with a holiday course. Then the phone rings and a parent says: my child doesn't want to come home. We've been getting calls like this for thirty years.
Foundation programmes
For young adults planning a stay in England after their Abitur: We support this step too, from fourteen-week subject-specific courses taught in English to full-year foundation programmes at private colleges in Oxford, Cambridge and London.
