Escorted Holiday Trips

Students don't need to return home during school breaks.
Instead, they could enjoy a holiday trip with other students!

Supporting children to make the most of their time in the UK

It's not always possible for children to go home at weekends when boarding schools close, during half terms holidays, or over the longer Christmas or Easter holidays.

The Academic Families Guardianship programme fully supports students with all the local support required during term time. And, for those times when a child can't come home, we also offer a host family for them to stay with, or a fun activity and cultural group trip.

For those students who would benefit from some extra academic support, we can also offer English or exam revision courses.

Fun - Adventure - Personal Development

Three times a year, we take students on holidays during school breaks in October, February and May.
Most children join all three trips, and sometimes we even have enough space for their friends to come along too!

Please note: all trips are non-refundable once booked.

Individual attention

Small groups - spaces are limited
and fill up fast.
