What to compare across supervised summer programmes, from lessons and activities to accommodation and safeguarding.

For younger students, compare the full programme rather than only the campus name. Lessons, accommodation, meals, supervision, activities, excursions and the age mix all shape the experience.

Ask who is responsible for supervision at each stage, what the emergency process is and what parents need to provide. These arrangements should be available in writing before a booking is confirmed.

Check the current cancellation terms and exactly what the programme fee includes. Travel, transfers, deposits and optional activities can be handled differently by different providers.
