Accommodation

Host family
By staying with a host family, you will gain a better understanding of the English culture and will have the opportunity to practise your English daily in an informal setting. You will stay in a single room and will have half board. The families are located around 15-30 minutes away from the school.

Leisure

The school offers a varied program of leisure activities each week. During the week, nights out at the pub, movies or theatre and museum visits and sports (from sailing to bowling, football and golf) are all popular. On Saturdays, students can take excursions to Bath, Salisbury and Stonehenge, the Isle of Whight or London. It’s an ideal way to meet students from the other classes and to discover Portsmouth and its surrounding region with your new friends.

Testimonial

Bernard Jenaste I am very happy with the teaching content as a student and a teacher myself.

As for the city and its surroundings, I think that it is perfect for short and long stays as the city is small and rich in history. I can’t say much about its nightlife as I prefer to concentrate on the language side of things… the reason for my stay is more important than anything else.

The teachers seemed expert in their subject (which you would expect from such a reputable school) and pedagogically the exercise in style was really effective. During the course I changed my course as I thought the One to One Programme was better suited to my own way of learning; it was easy to change courses and the cost wasn’t astronomical.

As for other things like the host family, I think that it depends on personal taste. What is essential is to appreciate the moment as it happens without asking oneself existential questions.

Despite a relatively long trip from Stansted to Portsmouth (4 hours), it was very important for me to get immediately involved with the English people and their language (asking for information, bus tickets).

I’m planning to go back to Portsmouth next year, but not in a host family, in an apartment this time.
