Embassy Summer: looking after you

Arrival in the country

Embassy Summer provides a meet and greet service for all students who have requested a transfer to the school. All students under the age of 18 travelling to or from a school must be accompanied by an adult. Embassy Summer will arrange for these students to be met on arrival in the country and taken to their accommodation.

For students aged 18 or over, or those students travelling with a parent or guardian, we will provide information and directions to the school.

Help during your stay

On arrival at the school, students will be welcomed by our staff and will receive a full induction to enable them to settle in quickly and enjoy their stay with us.

All students are issued with an ID card during their stay, for which they should bring a passport photograph. This ID card should be kept on their person at all times and will contain not only the address of the school, but important telephone numbers should they require assistance.

Students with enquiries or problems should speak to our staff at the school who will do all they can to help. In addition, we provide a 24-hour emergency telephone service during the summer.

StudyCare insurance

It is essential that all students travelling abroad have adequate insurance in case of medical or other emergency. Embassy offers a comprehensive insurance policy called StudyCare which is specifically designed to meet the needs of international students. Read more about StudyCare here.

Medical conditions

For the safety of all students and so that we may provide proper care, it is imperative that students make us fully aware of any medical conditions that are being treated. We reserve the right to refuse enrolments from students we feel will not be able to participate fully in our programmes. Students who do not notify us of a condition may be excluded from the programme.

Student welfare is paramount

We offer a high standard of care and supervision to our students. All of our centres have a nominated welfare person who is responsible for ensuring that our students remain happy and healthy throughout their stay. We also have a guardian system for our individual students in our junior centres.

In addition, there are on-site first aiders and established links with local doctors, dentists and hospitals for any first aid issues that may arise.

All students under the age of 18 should be aware that for all parts of their programme (lessons and activities) attendance is compulsory and students under 18 will not be allowed to leave the centre unaccompanied at any time.
