Building confidence and independence

Our Ministay courses help students develop self-confidence through an international adventure where they will get a glimpse into life and culture in the UK and in particular in Cornwall.

Located in the far south-west of the UK, this region is the perfect place for a Ministay programme. It is one of the safest parts of the UK away from the big cities with a wide variety of fun, outdoor activities to enjoy.

Our high-quality homestay and residential accommodation options give groups two great choices depending on their preferences.

Customised Ministay programmes

We work with each group to design a bespoke programme, including the number of English class hours, cultural excursions, and vocational sessions tailored to the needs and interests of your student group.

Cornwall is a perfect destination for a Ministay programme as there are so many options for excursions and activities.

Every programme is carefully structured to maximise learning, engagement, and enjoyment. Course programmes available for 4+ days.
