Accommodation

Host family
Host families, which have been carefully selected by our partner school, generally live around 45-60 minutes away from the schol and offer a natural and stimulating environment for practising the language. Students stay in a single room and have half board provided, which is an interesting option considering that it allows you to account for meals for the whole of your stay.

Student house (from 18 years)
This option allows several students from the school to share acccommodation during their stay. Each student has his/her own room and shares the common rooms and equipment (kitchen, bathroom, etc.) with the other students. The student houses are located in zone 3 of London, around 40 minutes away from the language school building.

Leisure

London overflows with leisure possibilities, especially from a cultural point of view. There are a large variety of monuments, museums, galleries and shows on offer, the most classic mixing with the most extravagant. Sports lovers will also have plenty to keep them busy in the numerous sports centres found in town and in the suburbs. The school organises activities and outings of the sort that will create a dynamic group atmosphere outside of the classroom, thereby allowing students to practise their English in an authentic context.
