Under 18s at St Giles London Highgate

Our London Highgate school warmly welcomes students aged 14 and above throughout the year. Independent and mature juniors can choose from various courses and stay with carefully selected hosts. For students under 14, we offer custom-made closed-group classes upon request.

While our school is primarily designed for those aged 18 and above, we do not provide 24-hour supervision for those under 18. Parents and guardians are urged to review our Under-18s guidelines before enrolling their child.

Note: From June 27, 2016, students under 18 will have separate classes. However, students aged 16-17 can join Cambridge exam courses alongside students aged 18+.
