Accommodation

Host family
This is an ideal option for students who wish to immerse themselves in the daily life of an English family for the duration of their stay. Families provide half-board or breakfast only, with a double or single room. Highgate is a residential district and students have the advantage of staying about 15-20 minutes away from the school – a real privilege in London. Please note: during the summer months, the accommodation may be located at a greater distance away from the school. If two students are travelling together, you can benefit from a better price by booking a double room. Contact us for more information regarding this offer.
