Accommodation

Host family
Staying with a host family is certainly the ideal means of combining English culture with the practice of the language. This option, chosen by the majority of students, will allow you to make the most out of your stay. You will gain ease and confidence by using the language you have learned in class in real-life situations and in a friendly environment. All of the families are selected with care by our partner school. Manchester, being a multicultural city par excellence, offers the possibility to students to stay with suitable families regarding special meals (Halal, Kosher...). You will stay in a single room with half board provided, around 30 minutes by public transport away from the school. Prices and information on request.

John Lester Court, from 18 years
The residence offered by our partner school is located within the University of Salford, some 10 minutes away by bus from the course centre and close to the Salford Shopping City. In an apartment with 4 single rooms, you will share the bathroom with your flatmates from the four corners of the globe. A fully equipped kitchen will allow you to prepare your meals. A student lounge is at your disposal and in another room, you will find vending machines for snacks and drinks as well as a television. The residence facilities also include a laundry room, unlimited Internet access, a sports pitch as well as a gym.

Leisure

The school goes out of its way to help students get the most out of the delights that this city has to offer. A staff member organises social activities and will answer all your questions. Activities include trips to the pub or the theatre, meals out and parties, or an excursion to the Lake District, for example. There is something to suit all tastes and budgets.

Testimonial

Stéphane Lüthi After spending 4 wonderful months in Manchester, I realised that there was more than just rain in England. The city bursts with great activities. I could verify for myself the fact that England, which is known for being the home of football and a place where it is very present, is indeed a great place for football lovers. Manchester is very close to beautiful cities like Chester, Blackpool, Edinburgh or else London, which is 2 hours and a quarter away by train.
The school is well located right in the town centre, close to commercial centres and restaurants. Manchester Academy of English is a good school with excellent teachers. I met plenty of people from different continents there. It was a great, rewarding experience!
