The schools in England are of high quality and you will be able to learn a lot. The people are not as strict as you may have heard and you will get accustomed to their lifestyle easily. Come and see for yourself! Did you know? SCHOOL SYSTEM The school system in England is different to the system in Europe or America. The school year is divided into three terms. One term consists of eleven to sixteen weeks. The advantage is that a three-months high school stay abroad as well as half a school year fits well into your school career. You will either get into Fifth- or Sixth-Form according to your age. Until the age of 15 a school uniform is worn at all schools. After the age of 15 the students need to stick to a dresscode. SUBJECT SELECTION The subject selection matches the curriculum of most high schools and includes classes in history or literature. Those sub- jects belong to the General Studies in England and therefore are compulsory subjects. Beyond that you can take part in subjects that are more like university classes when you visit the Sixth- Form. On offer are classes like Psychology, Economics or Design. Sometimes Physical Education is also a compulsory subject. Most of the schools offer very well equipped sports facilities. In the Sixth-Form you specialise in four to six subjects according to your interests and skills. Classes are from 09:00 am to 04:00 pm each day. Afterwards you can participate in extracurricular activi- ties like Choir, Theater, Sports or the schools newspaper. SUPERVISION Our employees will support you during your whole stay and provide information and everything you need. Mostly there is also a school coordinator onsite who can assist you. HOST FAMILY You live in a host family that will be chosen and carefully ap- proved by our colleagues onsite. You will have your own room and you will be provided with two meals a day. Sometimes two international students live in the same host family but they won’t have the same mother tongue.
