Welcome to Griggs International!
Learn, Experience, Connect.
Based in the UK, we offer bespoke short-term educational courses and integrated study camps year-round for secondary school and university students worldwide. We liaise with agencies, as well as work directly with educational institutions, enabling them to enhance or expand their educational offerings with a selection of bespoke programmes.
Griggs Europe is an affiliate of Griggs International Academy, an accredited global provider of K-12 education operating since 1909 in multiple markets, including Europe, North America, and Asia. We draw from a vast network of educational institutions worldwide, allowing us to offer our programmes on campuses around the globe, and we can tailor and customise our packages to best meet your needs.
What makes us different
We believe that creating valuable student experiences goes beyond facilitating travel and time in a classroom abroad. We design our programmes with intention and purpose, to enable students to foster lasting connections and develop a true passion for learning.
Students benefit from immersive and practice-based learning, where they develop and sharpen their academic skills while being directly embedded in the context of learning. In addition, we blend career and life-coaching sessions and dedicated time for networking with our instructors and professors. Students also visit different organisations and institutions according to the specific programme and benefit from opportunities to expand their knowledge by interacting with experts and industry professionals.
Beyond enabling students to expand their academic horizons, we also curate opportunities for them to engage in meaningful conversations grounded in reflections on values, life’s meaning, ethics, and spirituality. We thus offer students a holistic and inspiring platform for transforming their lives and elevating their personal, academic, and professional journeys.
