A Message from our Director of Studies

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.

What We Do

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.
