LIVE THE EXPERIENCE | A YEAR IN THE UK
International programme in the UK
The SEK International Institution has various International Programmes where its students have the possibility of continuing their studies immersed in the English language and the culture of the host country.
For all students of SEK International Institution and International Education Systems (IES) we offer the International Programme ‘St. John’s School’. Our British school is located on a hill overlooking the sea in the town of Sidmouth. Beautiful historical buildings are combined with excellent facilities, including lovely grounds, an indoor/outdoor swimming pool, playing fields, a sports hall, an adventure playground, and tennis courts.
Unique experiences that will shape your future
The Program offers different short-term courses during the school year for students between the ages of 11 and 16, who will stay in the cozy and familiar Boarding School.
The academic excellence of the SEK International Institution Schools makes students obtain outstanding results, regardless of the country where they are studying during the school year. This provides peace of mind for families, who will know that they will continue their education while living an unbeatable experience.
Our Camps and Study Programmes offer the opportunity to carry out different sports and cultural activities to complement the academic training. In addition, students make visits to learn more about the local environment through weekly cultural trips.
It is an enriching experience for all the students who participate in it, since all its students are part of the same Institution, under the same ideology, and with the same values and common goals.
