Questions and answers about Stafford House International

  • In general, this is possible. However, please note that the organisation of the day is very different between junior and adult courses. The junior programme runs until 21:00 hrs. After dinner, the children are taken to the host family. So you would only see each other briefly in the morning and then after dinner. We would be happy to send you more information.
