Ministay For Students Aged 10+
At our school in Bournemouth we welcome groups from 5 students up to 90 students between January and 28th June, and again from 24th August, until the end of the year. We have a comfortable and welcoming school environment perfect for your group to relax and enjoy their inter-cultural learning experience.
