Ringwood, New Forest
Located on the beautiful River Avon, Ringwood is a charming historic market town that invites you to experience authentic English life. With roots dating back to 1226, it features a friendly village atmosphere and a weekly street market.
Just 20 minutes from the enchanting woodlands of the New Forest National Park and the lovely beaches of Mudeford and Highcliffe, Ringwood offers a perfect mix of nature and culture. Students enjoy a local store discount program with their UKG Language identity card and stay with carefully vetted host families, meeting AEGIS Gold Standard requirements. This ensures a safe and welcoming environment for your studies, all easily accessible by public transport.
Ringwood is under 2 hours from London airports and just 20 minutes from Bournemouth International. We can help you choose the best transport options, whether through private coach pickups or convenient National Express Coaches, which stop just a short walk from the school. Come and immerse yourself in the charm of Ringwood while improving your English skills!
The great British mini stay
The best way to learn the English language is to immerse yourself and engage with the language and culture of Great Britain!
We invite groups of up to 45 students, aged 10 to 17, to enjoy a week or two in a historic market town in the picturesque south of England. Experience the beautiful countryside and nearby beaches and the best of the British landscape.
Enjoy a 7 day stay in a traditional English home, engaging with a local family for authentic language practice and insights into British life. Each mini stay includes one full-day excursion and one half-day excursion, with classroom learning connected to these adventures. Activities could include treasure trails, exploration of British history, a study of historic architecture or even just a paddle on a sandy beach.
Students will create their own Instagram-able video Vlog, capturing their own personal memories to share with family and friends. Enabling them to relive their study experience over and over again.
