Experience world-class English Language Education with PLUS
Welcome to PLUS, a premier provider of educational programmes specialised in English Language Education for international students across the UK, Ireland, US, Canada, and beyond. Every year, we welcome thousands of students who return home not only with improved language skills but with broadened horizons, lasting connections, and unforgettable experiences that shape their values and ambitions for years to come. With over 50 years of excellence in delivering top-tier educational experiences and global offices in London, New York, and Milan, PLUS represents one of the world's largest and finest organisations in study abroad language education.
At PLUS, our mission is to transcend national boundaries and develop world citizens. We are committed to fostering an environment where international students can come together to enhance their English language skills, gain a deeper understanding of diverse cultures, customs, and perspectives, and develop the skills needed in a globalised world. Through our immersive educational programmes, we provide a platform for meaningful cultural exchange and personal growth. Guided by our educators and staff, we empower students to build connections, learn to navigate new landscapes and challenges, and thrive in a world where they can leverage their talents. At PLUS, we don’t just educate; we inspire every student to become a well-rounded world citizen. This is the PLUS way.
In a world increasingly defined by global interconnectedness, the role of education has never been more crucial. At PLUS, we are honoured to stand within today’s transformative educational sphere and, with that, to have the opportunity to nurture young minds to become thoughtful, compassionate, and resilient citizens of tomorrow. This philosophy lies at the heart of what we do, guiding every project, every partnership, and every experience we bring to life.
Each year, thousands of students from across the globe join us, bringing with them the power of transnational exchange, and creating experiences that forge bonds in ways that are unique to PLUS. We are deeply grateful for the trust you place in us and proud to serve a role in shaping tomorrow’s leaders.
We offer a wide range of educational programmes for international students. Our programmes span from seasonal camps in the spring and summer across the UK, US, Ireland, Malta, and Canada, to year-round mini stay programmes designed for a tailored educational and cultural experience. We also offer integration programmes that place students directly in local schools within the countries where we operate. These programmes provide a unique opportunity to experience the local culture, side by side with local pupils.
Beyond academics, we take pride in delivering a complete service that manages every aspect of our students' journeys – from their airport transfer upon arrival to their final meal with us. Our programmes are hosted at a selection of prestigious universities, colleges, and boarding schools, offering top-notch facilities and accommodation to ensure a high-quality learning and living experience for our students. We take care of all arrangements for local visits and excursions, from transportation to attraction bookings, carefully planning every step of the way. Our team works tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure each programme is executed seamlessly, allowing students to focus on their personal growth and enjoyment while providing them with an unforgettable experience.
We are also excited about the launch of our upcoming Intrainship programmes. These innovative programmes have been designed to prepare students for the global workforce by addressing the persistent gap between schooling and the workplace to ease their transition into employment.
At PLUS, we create not just educational journeys, but lifelong memories and skills that pave the way for our students' future success.
PLUS has been a pioneering force in the EFL sector since our inception in 1972. Our journey has been marked by significant achievements that reflect our dedication to providing high-quality learning experiences for students around the globe.
