Our Integration courses include:
The Dual Integration programme offers a blend of structured English language lessons and full immersion in the life of a British boarding school. The students will receive tailored EFL instruction in closed groups from our experienced team for half of the programme. This can be scheduled as either mornings or afternoons on weekdays, or for groups staying two weeks, the lessons can take place over the entire first week. The other half of the programme will be spent following the boarding school’s curriculum, allowing students to experience authentic classroom settings alongside their British peers. This pathway is perfect for those looking to improve their English skills while gaining firsthand experience of the UK education system and daily school life.
For those seeking complete immersion, the Total Integration programme offers a full experience of British boarding school life without additional EFL lessons. Students will follow the full school timetable, participating in all classes including English lessons, sports, and activities just like their British peers. This option allows for a more comprehensive cultural and academic experience, ideal for students who already have a solid foundation in English and wish to focus entirely on integration.
Students are placed into age-appropriate classes and have opportunities to connect with British pupils through the school day. Depending on the school and programme, students may follow their buddy's timetable, attend lessons together, have lunch and take part in school activities.
Students will engage in the school programme, including lessons, sports, and social activities, allowing them to fully immerse and become part of the school community. Activity offerings vary by location and season, with more outdoor options available during warmer months.
What is the school's timetable?
Students follow the school’s own term dates and timetable. These can change because of exams, trips or other school events, and no lessons run on school holidays or training days, so please confirm your dates with us early. The final timetable is sent to your group two weeks before arrival.
How are students placed into classes?
The school places each student according to age and English level, sometimes one or two years below their current school year, so that they can settle in and take part properly.
What level of English do students need?
Total Integration requires a minimum of B2. Students below B2 may be offered integration in simpler subjects, sports and other activities, with additional language support.
What are the requirements for Group Leaders?
Each Group Leader must provide a translated police certificate, proof of home address and a copy of their passport.
Does the programme include excursions?
Local excursions are normally included where the school schedules them during your dates. Longer-distance excursions may be available at an additional cost. We will confirm what is available once your dates and timetable are set.
Do students need a school uniform?
No, students do not need to buy the school uniform. They should bring dark, formal clothing or their own school uniform.
