Our St Helen course takes place in Hockerill Anglo-European College, which is an international boarding school. Its staff are experienced in caring for children of all ages and nationalities whilst they are away from their families.

There is space for up to 200 students to live on campus and, although the buildings are traditional, the facilities are modern.

Boys and girls sleep in different "houses" around the campus. Each "house" has its own Studio wardens and all Studio staff live on-site and help with super-vision.

Most bedrooms are twin rooms and you share with a student of a similar age, of the same sex and from a different country. A limited number of rooms allow you to share with up 5 other students. You can share a room with friends if you request this in advance.

There are attractive and modern shared bathroom and shower facilities, usually on each corridor – approximately 1 bathroom to every 6 students.

When you are not in class or taking part in organised activities, there are comfortable common rooms in each house.

Benefits of St Helen residential accommodation
All staff live at the course centre providing 24-hour care for students.

We keep the staff-to-student ratios high, at approximately 1:7, and the Studio office is never far away if you have any questions or need help.

Laundry
Laundry is washed once a week by Hockerill College staff. Rooms are cleaned and beds changed every week.

Meals
Hockerill College cafeteria serves food to foreign students aged 11-18 all year round. The quality is very good, with a wide choice of hot and cold food. There is a vegetarian option and non-pork option for every meal.
