FAQs
Good questions, honest answers
Quick answers — and we're one WhatsApp message away for anything else.
How do you keep my child safe?
Safeguarding is our foundation: a full time Welfare Officer, vetted staff and homestay hosts, supervised activities, clear rules and a 24/7 emergency welfare line. We've cared for juniors since 1966.
Can my child travel alone?
Yes — we arrange meet-and-greet airport transfers and support airline unaccompanied-minor services. Your child is met at arrivals and delivered to their homestay host.
What if my child is homesick?
Our team is experienced and kind, homestay hosts are wonderfully caring, and the busy activity programme means homesickness rarely lasts long. We'll always contact you if needed.
Do juniors need a visa?
Many nationalities can study short courses visa-free or with a Standard Visitor visa. Once booked, we provide all the documentation you need.
