Accommodation

Host family in London
Sharing the daily life of an English family is an ideal way to learn English. From single people to large families, the families selected by our partner school are all different but all have something in common: they are chosen for their availability and hospitality and are located about one hour away from the school. You will have your own room equipped with a desk to study at, access to a telephone, breakfast and evening meals from Monday to Friday as well as all three meals at the weekend. Besides the comfort, staying with a host family you will feel secure surrounded by members of one family at the heart of which you will learn about the language and lifestyle of the country in a warm and informal environment.
Residence in London
For more independence, you can choose to live in a student residence housed in one of the modern buildings of the «McMillan Student Village», located about one minute away from your English school and where you will be able to meet students from around the world. You will stay in a single room with private bathroom. Meals (breakfast and dinner) can be taken at the cafeteria, but you can also choose the self-catered option. In this case, meals can be prepared in a shared kitchen or a private one (upon request). The residence also has satellite television, library, computer room and WiFi Internet access throughout. Please note: bed linen are provided (not towels) and laundry can be made in exchange of a small fee.

Leisure

In addition to English lessons, Embassy CES language school offers its students leisure activities such as films, sports or games. At the weekend, the school organises trips to major attractions: Greenwich, whose ‘Maritime Greenwich’ is registered as World Heritage, the Tower of London, Madame Tussaud’s, the London Eye... The area around the capital is also worth a visit, for example Stratford-upon-Avon, where you will discover the birthplace of Shakespeare or even Oxford, a mythical university town with buildings dating from the 12th century.
