About this programme

Some lessons only arrive through effort. Learning a demanding new skill in an unfamiliar environment — supervised, progressive and genuinely challenging — teaches students how they respond to difficulty, and shows them a version of themselves they had not met before. Our France Ski & Experiential Learning Programme sits here, designed as an educational experience rather than a winter holiday.

Age group: Typically 12–18
Duration: Typically 7 days
Currently runs in: France
