Summer, term time, post-school
To get a taste of British boarding school life before making a bigger decision: language courses during the school holidays or short stays during term time. Or plan a UK stay as a post-school option: foundation programmes in Oxford, Cambridge or London.
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.

When a short stay turns into more
Many of these experiences lead to a bigger step: the wish to spend a full term, a year, or the rest of school at a British boarding school. When they do, we sit down together to discuss options, suggest schools that fit and guide you through admissions, visas and subject choices. Get in touch to plan your next steps.
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.
