Accommodation

Host family
New Zealanders are known for their friendliness and hospitality. There are many advantages to staying with a host family, including of course the opportunity to constantly practise English in everyday situations. Also, the families provide breakfast and dinner, making this an attractive option financially. Students have their own rooms, and must allow between 15 and 30 minutes on public transport to get to the school. 

Leisure

Each week the school offers a range of leisure activities, from sports to cultural excursions. New Zealand’s southern island is known for its magnificent natural landscapes. The school organises outings to allow you to discover its beauties for yourself, and to meet with other students outside of the classroom. From June to August, winter sports enthusiasts can ski or snowboard in one of the most beautiful parts of the southern hemisphere.
