All five Young Learner centres areresidential. A typical boarding housewould have 35-50 students staying thereand you’d sleep in a single or twinroom, or in a larger room with 3-6 beds.Mixing and making friends in thesesurroundings comes very easily.

Accommodation is full board (breakfast,lunch and dinner) and there is a freelaundry service for your machine-washable clothes.

COMING AND GOING

At theend of the course, we’ll take you backto the airport and see you safelythrough check-in and passport control.If you’d prefer your own taxi transfer,this can be arranged at additional cost.

SUPERVISION

They’re on call 24 hours a day helping to organise every aspect of your visit; looking after your pocket money, flight details andpassport; ready with support andencouragement whenever you need it. You won’t have to worry about a thing.


On average, there’s one adult inresidence for every five students. It’sreassuring to note too, that most of oursenior staff work in UK boarding schools throughout the year. Many of them come back to work with ussummer after summer.

I really enjoyed the good relationship Ihad with the teachers in and outside the(boarding) house and how they lookedafter me.
