FAQs about What's Included
- How do I choose the right tier for my course? For ages 13-24, we offer four tiers—Classic, Plus, Superior, and Premier—each providing varying levels of accommodation, services, and flexibility. You can select a tier based on your preferences and budget. Junior and Eton courses are set packages without tier options, offering a well-rounded experience with everything included in one standard option.
- What is included in each tier? All tiers include exceptional teaching and half-board meals (breakfast and dinner). The main differences come in accommodation and additional benefits. For instance, higher tiers offer perks such as guaranteed ensuite rooms, enhanced customer service, airport transfers, and premium insurance. You can find full details of what’s included on our What’s Included page.
- Are Junior and Eton courses tiered like other age groups? No, Junior and Eton courses come with a set package that includes everything you need for an enriching experience—teaching, accommodation, meals, trips, activities, airport transfers, and insurance. These programmes do not have the option to choose between different tiers.
- Can I upgrade my tier after booking? Upgrades are possible depending on availability. If you wish to upgrade your experience after booking, please contact our admissions team, and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
- How do I apply for a specific tier? When completing the application form for ages 13-24, you’ll be able to choose between the Classic, Plus, Superior, and Premier tiers. Select the tier that best matches your preferences and needs. Junior and Eton applicants will automatically be placed in the standard package without tier choices.
Secure Your Place Early
To secure your preferred location, we highly recommend applying early. Each of our courses has a limited number of places available, and they tend to sell out quickly. Once they are full, no further places will be available. Submit your application as soon as possible to ensure you don’t miss the opportunity to study in one of our prestigious locations.

"After finishing the course, I feel as if I have not only learnt more on this topic but also understood how important it is in our everyday life. We explored different parts of computer science such as Hardware, Software engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Game designing etc."
