Accomodation
Host family
Staying with a host family is an enriching experience from both a social and linguistic point of view. The families are often located in the residential districts of the town, a 15 to 30 minute bus ride from the school. Students have their own room and breakfast and dinner are provided daily.
Student house (from 18 years old)
Staying in an individual bedroom, this option will suit more independent students. Meals are at your own expense, but the kitchen is at your disposal. The lounge room and bathroom are also shared with the other flatmates. The student houses are situated between 10 and 20 minutes from the school on foot.
Leisure
The school offers a complete social program that will allow you to make connections with the other students easily. Outings and excursions are organised for both during the week and on the weekend. The town’s numerous sports complexes will help you stay in shape, as will the wide quays that run alongside the ocean and are perfect for jogging or roller skating, unless you prefer water sports. More leisurely types will enjoy the Lanes, small alleys that are great for shopping because you can find everything there.
