Our Campuses
Our programmes are hosted at leading independent schools across the UK, each offering first-class boarding facilities, outstanding pastoral care, and inspiring environments where students can learn, grow, and thrive. Set on beautiful, spacious campuses with exceptional academic, sporting, and creative resources, these venues provide the perfect backdrop for a safe, enriching, and unforgettable summer experience.
Boarding houses are modern, comfortable, and purpose-built for young learners, with newly refurbished rooms and secure accommodation that ensures students feel at home from day one. Most students stay in single, twin, or small shared rooms, with many sites offering en-suite facilities and welcoming communal spaces for socialising and relaxation. Laundry services and essential amenities are provided on-site for convenience and peace of mind.
Pastoral care sits at the heart of every Avernus programme. Each residential camp benefits from 24-hour supervision by experienced staff, maintaining a high ratio of adults to students to ensure personalised support, wellbeing oversight, and a friendly, family-style atmosphere. Students are encouraged to develop independence, confidence, and life skills within a nurturing, structured setting.
From stunning countryside campuses to historic school estates, every location is chosen for its safety, quality, and ability to inspire — giving students a true taste of British boarding life while offering limitless opportunities for holistic growth.
