School

Our partner school was founded in September 2004. It is located in the city centre, in the heart of the business district and only a few minutes on foot from the Bristol Temple Meads train station. The school occupies the first floor of a modern building and has 5 classrooms. Outside of lesson time, students have access to a recreation area and an individual study centre where there are computers available with free Internet access. Students can also benefit from WiFi access in the school. During the high season, extra classrooms are used in a University and a secondary school. The Bristol Language Centre particularly distinguishes itself by its partnership with several colleges and Universities and offers relevant advice to students wishing to pursue their studies in Great Britain.

Accommodation

Host family
To allow you to fully immerse yourself in the Bristol lifestyle and the English culture in general, our partner school offers this excellent solution: a host family. Students stay in a single room and share the common areas of the household. Half-board is optional, allowing those who are more independent the freedom to cook their own meals or eat out more often. Access to the school is generally easy, on foot or by bus depending on the distance, varying between about 15 and 45 minutes.

Leisure

The Bristol Language Centre offers a leisure program all year round. It is generally made up of two to three activities during the week and a weekend excursion, all with the aim of allowing you to discover as many sides of Bristol and England as possible, in the company of other students. And for those who would prefer to enjoy all that this city and its surrounds has to offer by themselves, there is an abundance of choice: film and music festivals, theatre and street markets for Bristol culture, and Stonehenge, Glastonbury or the Welsh countryside nearby.
