Host Boarding Programme for international students aged 16–18 who wish to study A Levels or BTECs in Mallorca. Students live with carefully selected local host families rather than in a traditional boarding house.

Host families are selected and safeguarded through home visits and interviews; background checks are completed; safeguarding and orientation training is provided; ongoing monitoring; a 24-hour emergency contact service is available.

Lunch and breaks are available from cafes and take-away outlets nearby; food can be brought into College to be eaten in the Common Room, where a microwave, a small fridge and hot and cold water are available.
