Accomodation

Host family
Host families offer accommodation in individual bedrooms, with two meals provided per day. They are located in the city’s residential districts, about twenty to thirty minutes from the centre of town. They have been selected by our partner school to offer you a warm welcome in the most pleasant conditions.
Apartments
It is also possible to stay in a furnished apartment on request. The school will help you to find this type of independent accommodation according to your tastes. For this reason, we recommend that students interested in this option book the first couple of weeks of their stay with a host family and find the desired apartment once they have arrived in Melbourne.

Leisure

The school offers outings, tours and excursions as well as sports, to allow students to meet outside of class and practise the language in a natural and relaxed manner. Melbourne offers a rich program of cultural events that will satisfy lovers of art and music of all kinds. Sports enthusiasts will not be disappointed either: each year, Melbourne is home to world-class events such as the Formula 1 Grand Prix, the Australian Tennis Open and also the Golf Open, not to the mention local events such as the Australian football championships. From June to August, the mountain chains located a few hours from Melbourne become the country’s most fashionable ski resorts.
