About BABSSCo

BABSSCo (The British Association of Boarding School Short Courses) was founded in 1995. BABSSCo's head office is based at Harrow School and has a full-time team of eight provided by Harrow School Enterprises Ltd., the commercial arm of Harrow School.

Our Courses

Our courses, which run each year in July and August, offer students a full programme of English as a foreign language (EFL) tuition, as well as social activities, sports and excursions. We also run ‘English Plus’ courses for students wishing to learn English alongside Golf, Media & Design, Rugby, Tennis and Style. English lessons are taught by experienced and enthusiastic EFL-qualified teachers, with Activities Staff delivering the social programme. In 2009 BABSSCo centres employed a total of more than 200 staff, supervising a student body numbering around 800.

Our centres

BABSSCo currently operates at five UK Boarding Schools - Harrow School, Rugby School, Dulwich College, Heathfield School and Mill Hill School.
