The Short Term Study Programme

Experience British education abroad, from September to June — with the flexibility for parents or guardians to accompany younger students. This preparation period has been incredibly beneficial for our daughter. It’s helped her become familiar with the school, her classmates and helped her to settle in smoothly. The Short Term Study Programme not only supports academic readiness but also helps children build friendships, gain confidence, and feel at ease in a new cultural and social environment.”

We are very pleased with the experience, and truly believe this programme is an excellent initiative that will continue to be a strong attraction for international families and students looking to study in the UK.”

Short-term immersion, lifelong impact

Dukes Education’s Short Term Study programme welcomes international students into London,

Cambridge and Kent day schools and boarding colleges to experience British education and culture first-hand.

From one week to 1 term, students learn alongside British peers, improve their English, and gain confidence in a new academic environment.

Open to all school-age students, the programme builds independent learning, cultural understanding, and valuable skills for future study. From day one, students become part of the school community, discover British life, and leave with a certificate, friendships, and the confidence to thrive in their next chapter.

Programme Duration: 1 week +

Accommodation: Arranged separately; we are happy to recommend trusted options, unless boarding needed.

Join us for an unforgettable educational experience.
