Accommodation

Host family
Most of the students choose to stay with an English family in order to increase their learning of the language. The school is in contact with the families chosen for the cleanliness and comfort of their house as well as for the welcoming atmosphere they create. You will stay in a single room with half board provided during the week and full board provided at weekends. The families generally live around 15 minutes by bus away from the school.

Residence (from 18 years)
For more independent students, our partner school proposes staying in a residence (YMCA with breakfast included or Carter during the high season). You will have your own bedroom and will share the common rooms (kitchen, bathroom, living room). It is an optimal solution if you wish to live with other international students. The two residences are situated around ten minutes' walking distance away from the school. Prices and additional information on request.
