Will your child return home during school breaks?
Instead, they could enjoy a holiday trip with other students!
It's not always possible to bring your child home when boarding schools close, during half terms holidays, or over the longer Christmas or Easter holidays.
The Academic Families Guardianship programme fully supports you and your child with all the local support you require during term time. And, for those times when your 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.
Several times throughout the year, we take students on holidays during school breaks.
Most children join all of our trips, and sometimes we even have enough space for their friends to come along too!
Please note: all trips are non-refundable once booked.

Easter Holiday Trip
23rd March - 14th April 2024
This is much more than a holiday; this is a once-in-a-lifetime meaningful experience that will stay with our students forever. Making a difference underpins this unique trip for a small group of motivated boarding school students who will embark on a journey connecting, understanding and helping others.
Throughout this adventure, students will work with charities, contribute to environmental projects and engage with local communities to support sustainable development.
Students will visit traditional villages where they will be taught many local skills, including making our own footballs at a non-profit manufacturer, and they will also get their hands dirty working alongside the Maasai to build a water pan. We also head to the coast to learn how one local marine conservation charity is planting coral to rejuvenate sealife.
They will also have a lot of fun along the way, with visits to an elephant orphanage and giraffe sanctuary, sleeping under the stars at a busy waterhole, and capping off this incredible trip with a dhow sunset cruise along the coastline.
