The programmes and dates outlined below relate to our High School Programme in the United Kingdom. They are provided as a guide only, as school term dates can vary depending on the region of the UK, individual school and local authority.

The UK is made up of four nations — England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland — and each has its own academic calendar. Even within the same country, school term dates can differ between regions and, in some cases, between individual schools. Differences may include the start and end of terms, half-term holidays, Easter breaks, Christmas holidays and other scheduled school closures.

For this reason, the dates shown should not be considered universal UK school dates. The exact dates available to each student will depend on the destination, school and length of programme selected.
