Our main partner school in Bournemouth, Kaplan International, is the biggest English language school in the UK and Ireland. In the centre of town, it’s easy to reach by public transport and can help you prepare for the IELTS exam. For a quieter setting, Kings is just outside the town centre in a residential area surrounded by gardens. For young people, their junior summer programme is truly special. Our experienced advisors can help you find the perfect school — just email us or book a call.

We offer complete flexibility to match your schedule and commitments. Programmes accommodate stays from one week to multiple months, so you can choose what works for you. That said, the longer you're surrounded by English in this coastal community, the more natural your fluency and cultural understanding become. We always recommend spending as long as you can learning English with us.

Our partner schools in Bournemouth provide diverse accommodation options tailored to different lifestyles and budgets. You’ll find instant community and convenient amenities in student halls of residence, including study lounges and fitness centres — perfect for ready-made social connections.

Homestays, meanwhile, offer genuine cultural immersion with British families, complete with home-cooked meals and insider knowledge of living in Bournemouth.

For maximum independence, private studio apartments give you personal space to unwind.

Each choice shapes your learning experience differently. Our advisors can walk you through availability and costs and match you with accommodation that’s right for you.

While we specialise in structured full-time programmes, our general English courses still leave ample time for work, exploration, or personal commitments. Class schedules differ across schools. If you need specific timing to balance other responsibilities or prefer certain study hours, let us know, and we'll try to match you with a school whose timetable aligns.
