Why choose a study abroad in England?
England can be quickly reached from every major European city. Without a doubt, it is the most coveted destination for a study abroad for students from around the world who wish to improve their English language skills or even embark on a High School Program, an entire year of adventure.
A study has shown that 63% of students traveling to England for a study abroad program are female. Among Italian students, the youngest ones often choose “Mini stay” language programs or group summer study vacations with their teacher to escort them. The older ones, however, prefer traveling alone, as they are more autonomous and independent.
Regardless of the type of journey, choosing England certainly guarantees an unforgettable experience. The preferred destination is, of course, London, the capital. Modern and cosmopolitan, it attracts thousands of visitors, students, and young people from all over the world every year, making it a top choice for more mature travelers.
Should you have an escort or not?
For the younger ones up to 17 years old, we often recommend a study trip with an escort to one of our more traditional centers operated by our partner and market leader for 35 years, L’Astrolabio. Here, safety and organization guarantee a surprise-free vacation.
Your children will experience the more traditional side of England with a study vacation in places like Worcester, Cirencester, London Egham, Nottingham, Eastbourne, and Cardiff, where we exclusively manage the Royal Agricultural University center in Cirencester.
However, more adventurous explorers prefer to travel alone, enjoying maximum autonomy and independence. But whether you choose to go alone or with company, England is undoubtedly the best destination for a study trip that will change your life!
But if you’re an independent explorer, you’re free to choose from splendid cities like Oxford, Cambridge, and Manchester. And if you need to unwind from the stress of school, Bath is perfect for recharging and relaxing.
In any case, choosing England as the destination for your study trip is undoubtedly the best choice for an unforgettable experience and to improve your language skills. What are you waiting for? Start planning your adventure now!

Thanks to our travel agency, Ascot Viaggi, an IATA agent, we enjoy significant advantages and can negotiate the best rates.
How Long Should My Study Vacation in England Be?
Numerous connections offer utmost flexibility when planning the duration of your study vacation. This allows you to opt for a study stay as short as one week, albeit only refreshing your English skills.
Ideally, to achieve substantial improvement, consider attending a language course for a period of at least 3 to 6 weeks. However, heading to England also signifies empowering your children, in addition to aiding their language learning. This can be achieved even in 15-day stays.
In a fortnight, they will have ample time to settle in and forge friendships with fellow students. For older students with more time, selecting various cities across Britain can provide deeper insights into British culture and customs.
You also have the option of a study vacation program involving attendance at multiple schools in different cities within the same vacation. Furthermore, through our partnership with VIVA INTERNATIONAL, we can offer longer stays, even up to a year of study with Exchange Students programs. Your children will return speaking English almost like native speakers.
When Is the Best Time for an English Course in England?
Weather during study vacations in England can be quite chilly and notably rainy. Therefore, the recommended period for your trip, whether for yourself or your children, is between April and August.
During these months, the weather tends to be drier, with particularly pleasant temperatures, especially in August when home temperatures are scorching.
The winter semester, despite its cold and damp conditions, also has distinct advantages. In this period of lower influx, class sizes are limited, and there are fewer compatriots, forcing students to strive for improvement through actual usage instead of relying on their native tongue.
Teachers, too, can be more focused and dedicated. Thus, you can maximize the returns on your investment in this study vacation in England, specifically designed for language learning.
