Under 18s

Being Under Age at St Giles International

Our St Giles year-round centres are primarily designed for students aged 18 and older. Whilst we can welcome students aged 16 and above at all centres, and 14+ at St Giles Brighton, Eastbourne, St Giles Cambridge and St Giles London Highgate, it should be noted that we cannot provide 24-hour supervision. Under 18s will also be required to stay in homestay accommodation.

St Giles Brighton, Eastbourne, Cambridge and London Highgate can offer closed-group classes to students under 14 which are custom-made. Further information is available on request. 

We ask that parents or guardians of students under 18 read our Notes for Parents and Guardians of students under 18 document before booking their child to study at our centres. This will help you to understand what to expect when your child comes to study with us.
