Studing with us is a unique chance to deepen your understanding and grow as a person. You will immerse yourself in UK education, life and culture. You will learn a huge amount, build independence and make friends for life. We will work with you throughout to ensure you are supported and cared for.

Students can study anything from one term to two academic years. You will study alongside local students, following an English curriculum. Depending on your age, this will be usually be based around GCSE or A-Level learning. York College also offer a range of vocational programmes for those with pre-existing experience in a particular field.

Bootham is a small, independent school with over 200 years of history, set in the city centre. Some say it is a bit like Hogwarts, but without the Dementors! We say, it helps young people to learn in a caring, nurturing environment with small class sizes, superb teaching and a focus on individual needs and aspirations.

York College is a large, modern, Further education College. It specialises in post-16 education with state of the art facilities and the widest range of courses in the region. It balances a drive for independence with continued support and guidence.

We work with both institutions, offering free legal guardianship to all students from our partner schools. This means we are here for you, whatever the need, whenever you need it. We act as a liaison with parents and schools in Germany, as well as a 24-7 point of contact on the ground should you need it. We also run lots of additional activities, including residential trips to London, Edinburgh and more!

A list of all our partner schools is available in our Long Stay Information Pack. If you don't see your school on the list, never fear, you can still sign up, although you may not be able to take advantage of our reduced fees.

If you work in a school or College overseas and are interested in becoming a partner school, don't hesitate to get in touch

More Details:

We do not charge any Guardianship fees. That means our guardianship service is free, being subsidised by our short stay programmes.

To provide guardianship, we will work with you and your family to ensure we have all the correct permissions and a clear understanding of how to support you. However, you will not be bound into a long-term contract or asked for payment to support this.

Most students attending the long stay programmes have completed our Embrace England short stay camps, but it’s not a necessary requirement.

Finally, one thing to notice... this section of the web is in English NOT German. That is because, if you cannot read it comfortably then the long stay is probably not for you. Your level of English must be at least at B2 Common European Level, coupled with a very hard working and DYNAMIC personality.
