1. Beautiful Countryside Campus

Our campus is surrounded by rolling hills, ancient woodlands, and fresh country air. It’s the perfect place to learn, play, and relax. Just 90 minutes from London, our secure and spacious site offers everything you need in one location — classrooms, sports fields, swimming pool, stables, dining hall, and comfortable boarding houses.

2. We Care

At BOSS, every student matters. Our staff live on campus and are available 24 hours a day. From your first meal to your final farewell, we make sure you feel safe, supported, and at home. Our motto, One School, One Family, guides everything we do.

3. Learn English with Confidence

Our English lessons are practical, fun, and focused on communication. You’ll take part in games, projects, and discussions that help you speak naturally and confidently. Every student prepares for the Trinity College London GESE exam, giving you a clear goal and real results.

4. Become a Young Leader

In 2026, all students will complete the Leadership Skills Foundation Young Leader Award. You’ll learn teamwork, communication, and problem-solving — the skills that help you succeed at school and beyond.

5. Adventure

Every day brings something new — from day trips to London, Brighton, and the Harry Potter Studios, to exciting on-campus challenges and outdoor fun. You’ll also take on the “50 Things To Do at BOSS” challenge and collect memories (and stamps) as you go.

6. Community

BOSS is an international family. You’ll meet students from all over the world, learn about different cultures, and make lifelong friends. Whether it’s in your boarding house, on the sports field, or at our famous BOSS discos or campfire, you’ll always belong.

7. Value for Money

Your course fee includes lessons, accommodation, meals, excursions, activities, laundry, and souvenirs such as the BOSS Bucket Hat, diary, and wristband. Apart from the airport transfer, if that is necessary, everything is included. We have no hidden costs — just one all-inclusive price for a complete experience.
