Immersion Programmes

The JCG Foundation organises vibrant and enriching Immersion Programmes at Jersey College for Girls.

They are designed for international students aged 11 to 18, providing a unique opportunity to experience life in the College and on the beautiful island of Jersey.

Programmes range from one week to a full academic year and include full integration into school life, with students attending regular lessons, participating in co-curricular activities, and home boarding with a local host family.
