Integration

School Integration Students have the opportunity to replace a morning of normal lessons with an integration programme at a local British school. Students will attend classes in English with native-speaking students and experience a real British school first-hand. They will improve their English and build connections interacting with students in and out of the classroom. Students in the integration programme will also wear a school uniform, just like all the other students.
