Accommodation

Host family
One of the best and easiest ways to immerse yourself in the English culture, whilst at the same time having the opportunity to practise your English daily outside of class in a relaxed and motivating atmosphere, is to stay with a host family. Our partner school carefully selects host families, who generally live around 30 minutes away from the school by bus. You will stay in a single room with half board provided duirng the week and full board provided at weekends.

Residence
For more independent students, our partner school also offers accommodation in a student residence, either in the YMCA or the Carpenter residence (summer only), which is located around 10 minutes' walking distance away from the school. You will stay in a single room and no meals are provided. However, you will be able to prepare your own meals in the kitchen which you will share with other students. You will also share a bathroom and living room. Prices on request.

Leisure

With the activities programme offered by the school, it is difficult to get bored! The programme changes each week, and a minimum of two activities are organised for the evenings along with one weekend excursion (to Oxford, Cardiff, Stonehenge, Bristol or London). Bath has a lot to offer on a cultural level and the school will take care of helping you to discover as much as possible. The school also offers a programme of social activities, including short excursions, sports and nights out.
