Nant y Cwm
International students
Nant-y-Cwm has a decades-long history of welcoming overseas and exchange students who wish to enrich their education with a period of time abroad. Families/students have joined for as little as half a term, or many years. In our recent history we have welcomed families from Ukraine, France, Germany and Switzerland.
“The overall experience was incredible. Probably we can only realise the whole impact once we are back home. We would redo the exact same decisions again and are very happy that everything went so smoothly and well. We are very happy that the school management, all the teachers, the children and the whole community was so very welcoming towards us!”
Rene & Sophia Surber, Switzerland, July 2024
Often families come over and stay locally in holiday accommodation or longer term accommodation from anywhere from two weeks to multiple years. Children may also have the option of staying with a host family connected to the school.
