If you want a genuine boarding school experience lasting around 2.5 to 3 months, then a one-term stay is the ideal choice.
We work with over 20 renowned schools offering this option. Pupils don’t just attend classes – they become part of the school community. They live on campus, join regular lessons and extracurriculars, and take part in trips and events, just like full-time boarders.

For older pupils
Pathway courses: stays between school and university
Sometimes, the perfect next step after finishing secondary school is a stay abroad on a pathway course. These programmes are designed to give young people time and space for orientation while strengthening their academic English and subject knowledge.
Students live in an international environment, experience independence in a safe setting, and prepare themselves for future studies—whether at a British university, another international institution, or back home. A pathway course can be the ideal bridge between school and higher education.
