Kaplan International - Academic Year Abroad

London is one of the world’s most iconic capitals — a true global city where people from every culture and background come together. You could spend a lifetime in this city and still find new things to do, so there is no better spot to take an Academic Year from 6 months to a full year! Our partner school in London is ideally located in Covent Garden, placing you right in the heart of the city. From here, you’re just steps away from vibrant neighbourhoods like Soho, Chinatown, Bloomsbury, and the famous West End — so you’ll never run out of places to discover. Housed in a charming historic building, the school features 15 well-equipped classrooms, experienced teachers, and an outdoor patio where you can relax and connect with classmates. With London’s endless cafés, delis, and restaurants right outside, you’ll have plenty of options to enjoy a bite between lessons.

Overlooking the banks of the Thames, near the rustic charm and world-class entertainment of Battersea Power Station – this residence is the perfect base to explore one of London’s most desirable neighbourhoods. 38 minutes from your school by bus, this residence offers single rooms in clumps with a shared kitchen. Each room is equipped with a bed, desk, chair, wardrobe, and an ensuite bathroom.
