Trailblazers (14-17)

Our Trailblazers Programme aims to equip older teenagers with higher order skills, while still developing their language proficiency, so they are challenged to use English in a stimulating way and are championed on their journey to become confident and successful young adults.

The Trailblazers Programme is suitable for students who have an A2-C1 level of English (European framework).

We will accept 18 years old students on the Trailblazers Programme in exceptional circumstances if they enrol as part of a larger group.
