The school is blessed with outstanding facilities, modern accommodation and impressive grounds. The course, designed specifically for students aged 11-15, is focussed on giving students the opportunity to improve their English language skills through a wide range of introductory courses whilst making new international friends in a stunning location with outstanding facilities.

All students receive 15 hours of lessons per week (additional lessons are available), specially designed by our academic team for international students. SBC Canford students have a range of courses to study, including: Art & Design, General English, Introduction to Leadership, Introduction to International Relations and Introduction to STEM.

The British Council have noted strengths for every area they inspected, including Course Design and Academic Management.

There are also three full-day cultural excursions to beautiful cities and world-famous attractions, including London and Brighton.
