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. We are a 10-minute walk to the cliffs, 10 minutes to the beach and just 15 minutes to the City Centre. In 2023 we welcomed more than 1000 students to our spacious school in Bournemouth. Students can be accommodated with one of our carefully selected host families. Most of our hosts have worked with us for many years and students often remain in touch after their stay.
