Housed in a beautiful building surrounded by a large garden, our partner school is found in the centre of Cheltenham, just moments from the main shopping centre, public transport, cafés and restaurants. The Rodney Lodge has spacious and bright classrooms. A study room equipped with computer terminals is available, as well as a lounge where you can relax between classes and get to know the other international students. The school is entirely equipped with a WiFi connection that allows Internet access, even from the garden.

Accomodation
Host family
This is an excellent opportunity to live like a real British person and to discover the culture of Gloucestershire. The school personally takes care of finding and selecting the most suitable host families for students. Located about 30 minutes from the school, you will have your own room and share the facilities and other rooms with the rest of the family (a private bathroom can be requested). Accommodation includes half-board and the regular contact you will have with your hosts will help you to progress in your spoken expression.
On request, the school also offers some furnished apartments and studios to allow more independent students the liberty of organising their own free time.
Leisure
The school offers students the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities and outings, some for free or at reduced prices, both during the week and on weekends. Whatever the activity: sports, nights at the movies, BBQ’s, bowling, theatre, concerts… the aim is to allow you to relax and practice your English in a friendly atmosphere. Weekend excursions will allow you to discover Oxford, Bath or London, not to forget the magnificent scenery of the Cotswold region in the heart of England.
