Accommodation

Host family
Staying with a host family allows students to deepen their knowledge of the language and is the best way to discover the country and its inhabitants. Students stay in single rooms with half board provided. The host families are chosen with care and generally live around 20-30 minutes away from the school.

Leisure

A language course in the midst of a tropical paradise naturally offers numerous leisure possibilities. The “Crocodile Club” organises barbeques each week, as well as a variety of other activities: tennis, football, sailing, golf, canoe-kayaking on the river bordered with mangroves, diving along the Great Barrier Reef (snorkelling or scuba), horse riding in the tropical rainforest, a trip to an Outback farm, bungee jumping, parachuting and many more… great photos and memories to take back home.
