Summer Activity Leader

Bayswater Education is a vibrant network of global centres dedicated for over 75 years while inspiring people through a life‑changing educational and travelling experience. We’re passionate about growing communities of global thinkers and explorers, at home and abroad – whatever their story. We're not just reimagining education; we're revolutionizing it. We're on a mission to provide young minds, locally and globally, with life‑changing adventures and a chance to cultivate a social conscience.

For every student we teach, we will teach another from a disadvantaged background. We provide classes beyond our borders and extend our commitment to education to regions where they are most needed!
