Our partner school on the Gold Coast has designed a study program especially adapted to long-term stays and to the particular needs of each student according to his or her level. Students come from all four corners of the globe, with different linguistic skills and specific expectations; classes are always divided by levels. In fact, on the day of arrival, students sit a series of 6 tests to determine their general English level, and also their specific level of competence in the following areas: writing, reading, listening and speaking. Say, for example, that you have a good level of written English but are weaker at speaking. You would then be placed in, say, a level 4 class for general lessons (‘Use of English’), but a higher level class for writing (for example, 5 in ‘Focus Writing’ and 6 in ‘Focus Reading’), and in lower level classes for oral skills (for example, 2 in ‘Focus Listening’ and 3 in ‘Focus Speaking’).

Host family
This accommodation option will allow you to discover the Australian way of life, to practise English daily in a motivating atmosphere and to get the most out of your stay on Queensland’s Gold Coast. The families are chosen with care by our partner school and are located about 30-40 minutes from the school itself. Students stay in single rooms, with half-board provided during the week and full board on the weekends, and the host family will take care of your laundry.
You also have the possibility of living in a “room-stay” situation, that is, in a host family but without meals (students can however use the kitchen) or laundry service provided and generally with several other students.
