  • The price includes the above itinerary.  Flights to / from the UK are extra and are the responsibility of the participant(s) to book.
  • We provide airport pick-up on arrival and ask that you book flights (or make your own way back to Heathrow if doing independent travel in advance) to arrive by 10am on the program start date.
  • We do not provide transport back to Heathrow at the end of the program as we find that most families choose to stay on in London or travel onward afterward.  Work with your student on what you would like to do for this!
