The State schools experience program offers students age from 16 to 19 opportunity to study in state schools around UK. Student can choose between short-term immersion program, from couple of weeks to academic programs that in two academic years leads to recognized qualifications such as A Levels or the international Baccalaureate.

It is a low budget program, comparing to those top private schools that could offer the same state of the art facilities as State Six-form colleges.

There are many options and many ways to customize the program to fit the students’ needs whatever the student’s request. If they there is any sort of special need we are doing our best to accommodate them and place into a program that will fit their needs well. That's - short-term and long-term UK state school. If you choose a private boarding school we have tons of options and can chose you a school that guaranty you will be able to fit into the UK education system well.

The full package of our program includes school placement , airport transfers upon arrival and departure, local support, accommodation and 24-hour emergency access (students are able to contact if anything goes wrong and they need help, they are always welcome to contact their local support who is with them in their community).

The schools are have different requirements about their deadline so we have some schools which are accepting applications a bit later, so there is some flexibility in enrollment schedule. As well, there are different types of schools accommodation options or preferences in program length and locations, which means that one of the great part of this program is its flexibility.

After the students turn 16 when they enter Six-form they have three different options to choose from. They can choose from pursuing their A Levels or BTEC or the IB diploma.

We do have schools that offer each of the three qualifications but not every single school will have several of them: mostly schools only offer A Levels or they only offer A Levels and IB diplomas or BTEC and A Levels.

All students have to pick a school and pick an option that fits in with their needs and the course they are able to persuade. We do offer guidance and recommendation to help them to understand the main difference between the three programs.

A Levels is a two-year program that focuses on in-depth study of three or four subjects and finishes with exams, the program is the standard program within the United Kingdom and it is probably our most popular option among students. If students are interested in pursuing university education within the UK then the A-level action in perfect for that.

The BTEC program combines practical learning with theory. After completing a BTEC level 3 course, you can either look for work immediately as in an entry-level job or go to university before starting your career. If you choose to go to university with BTEC, it will probably be to study a subject that relates to your BTEC and is vocational (focused on a specific career – eg nursing or business studies) rather than academic.

The IB diploma program that provides internationally accepted qualifications for entry into many universities worldwide and this option is available in states school too.

States schools offer variety of subjects, e.g.: English, French, Italian, Spanish, geography, psychology, philosophy and tons of other options for students to be able to pursue their interests and take courses that fit their needs for college. Schools offer many clubs and activities that we highly encourage foreign students to get involved in. We try to pick up schools that have a lot of activities, a lot of clubs and a lot of different courses.

When students pursue the state school program, they are attending a state school and they will be staying with a host family, but we do have a couple of options that allow them to live in student accommodation, but that is available only for long-term students.

There's a variety of school and locations to choose from: we do have a state schools that we partner with all over the United Kingdom and students can point what fits their needs: course of study, area and their budget.

Typically, students outside the EU are required to be between the ages of 16 and 18 to attend the state school program; they have to be in their upper years of schooling, with top grades and high level of English. Students from EU can apply starting from being 13 years old. They have to be ready to stay with British host families. When we enroll student to state school it tends to require students to make a commitment to work together with us. We ask you to fill an application form and send us supporting documents.

When we receive your request and estimate your academic and English knowledge, we make recommendations on the schools that we think would be a good fit. We look at your request, we look at your interests or hobbies, location, we work at budget and we will be able to work a course of study for you.
