Hobstone Education has a vision to inspire young people through international education. What We Believe We believe that when people are brought together, and spend time learning from each other, they create the tools we need to build a better world. We are based in the UK, but work with partners and young people from across the world. What We Do We work with educational institutions to help them form robust links and long lasting partnerships. We focus on student centred study experiences in the UK and overseas. We provide homestay accommodation for student groups. How to Get Involved If you represent an educational organisation and would like to discuss partnership projects get in touch. If you are a young person who is interested in studying in the United Kingdom, we offer a range of support and guardianship services. If you are interested in becoming a homestay host read more here.
