Choosing country and programme
Countries and programme types are compared by age group, language goal and budget.

Weekly price ranges and what is included become clear, and a school-specific offer is prepared.
Calendar and chaperone teachers
Dates are fixed in writing and chaperone teachers and their roles are chosen.
Parent meeting
The programme, safety framework, process and payment plan are presented and questions answered.
Registrations and accommodation
The final list is set and the right option among residence, campus or homestay is confirmed.
Documents and safety plan
Documents are completed per the programme list; emergency, communication and supervision plans are written down.
Packing, pocket money, phone
Packing list, pocket-money plan and communication rules are shared; a pre-departure briefing is held.
Flight and the first 24 hours
Meeting point, head counts, check-in, transfer and the first-evening briefing set the group’s rhythm.
Settling in and friendships
New surroundings, homesickness and new friends: what is normal, for chaperones and parents.
Lessons, excursions, daily rhythm
Morning lessons, afternoon activities, weekend trips; see a typical day in the city guides.
