About Programmes for Ages 16+
Senior programmes and pre-university intensives — gap year prep, career exploration, advanced academics. Our curated selection of camps, workshops and courses is designed for families at London independent schools looking for enriching experiences during holidays and term time. Every programme is vetted for quality, safety, and educational value.
Children in the ages 16+ age group are at a pivotal stage of development. The right programme can spark new passions, build lasting friendships, and develop skills that complement their school education — from creative arts and sports to academic enrichment and outdoor adventure.
All programmes on Houseroom are independently reviewed. We never accept paid placements or sponsored listings — every programme earns its place through editorial vetting and genuine parent feedback.
