English school in Melbourne: Embassy CES

Situated in the heart of the business district of Melbourne and opposite the Charles Sturt University, our partner school shares its campus with Taylor’s College. Thanks to this partnership, it uses the latest technologies and guarantees the best teaching possible to the students. Close to the course centre, you will find various restaurants, cafés and shops as well as access to public transport. Inside the school, you will find comfortable and bright classrooms, a language centre and a computer lab which will contribute to facilitating the acquisition of English. Interactives screens replace the usual blackboards. A relaxation area will allow you to relax between classes and to meet the other students for discussions and exchanges there. Internet can be accessed for free (weekly limit) through WiFi throughout the course centre. There is also a library and a bookshop on the campus.  

Host family
In a familial and secure environment, you will speak English from as soon as you arrive and will improve your ability to express yourself throughout your stay! A host family is the most commonly used option and that which also allows you advance quickly in the acquisition of the language. The families chosen by our partner school all live in residential areas, at a distance of a maximum of 1 hour from the course centre. You will stay in a single room and will benefit from half board and access to the laundry room of the house.

Student8 (from 18 years)
You can decide for this form of accommodation if you wish to be more independent during your language study stay in Melbourne. The studios of the Student8 residence offer a lot of comfort and all have a bathroom, TV and DVD equipment as well as a microwave and a small fridge. Air-conditioned and with free Internet access, the studio accommodation allows you to study with complete peace of mind.  You will benefit from an exceptional environment with a swimming pool, a gym, a sauna and basketball and volleyball courts, a barbecue area beside the swimming pool, a relaxation room with a flat-screen TV and drink vending machines. An equipped kitchen for the preparation of meals and a laundry room are also at your disposal. Bedlinen is provided and a cleaning service (paying) is available.

Our partner school proposes a very wide range of activities of which most are free, and others are at a small charge. Yoga classes, evenings of various activities or excursions are on the programme. A visit to the Melbourne Museum will familiarise you with the culture of the Aborigines or will allow you to have a unique experience : the projection of a film in IMAX format. The Queen Victoria Market is a concentration of lifestyles of the Australians, an open-air market in the centre of Melbourne which will charm you with its cosmopolitan and lively atmosphere. St. Kilda is the place to be if you wish to discover what was long ago a disreputable district of the city, transformed today into a centre of attractions with dozens of restaurants, bars, cafés and beaches where music is omniprésent. A tour of the city, an excursion to the Yarra Valley, reputed for its wine growing, boat outings on the Ocean – everything is possible, you will love it !
