9-day boarding school program at the prestigious
Buckswood School in the UK.

Participants will enjoy a unique opportunity to learn and grow alongside peers from various countries while experiencing life in a truly international setting.
What is a Boarding School?
A boarding school embodies a unique educational experience where students and teachers reside on the same campus. It encourages children to develop not only academically but also emotionally and socially. Through community living, students learn essential skills such as self-discipline, independence, and effective communication.
Highlights of the Program
1. Participate in a Renowned Easter Program
Join a program hosted by the esteemed
Buckswood School, which blends traditional English architecture with modern educational facilities. Living and learning alongside fellow international students, participants will immerse themselves in the authentic British boarding school environment while partaking in a myriad of learning activities.
2. Tailored English Lessons with International Peers
The program is designed to be inclusive, welcoming students from around the world. On the first day, participants will take an English proficiency test to ensure they are placed in a suitable class. Lessons focus on practical communication, utilizing discussions and group activities to foster an engaging and interactive learning environment.
3. Explore UK Culture Through Excursions and Activities
The program is filled with exciting activities and excursions, including trips to
London and
Hastings, as well as sports, art projects, and games against other dorms. These activities promote English usage in real-life situations, allowing participants to build confidence and foster friendships that transcend cultural boundaries, all while under the guidance of experienced local staff.
