Accommodation

Host family
It's by being continually immersed in the culture of a country that you learn a language best. Staying with a Californian family means sharing in the way of life of a new culture daily and having an unforgettable experience. The families are chosen with care, know the school well and are situated around 30-45 minutes away from the language school building. Students stay in singel rooms and have half board provided.

Residence "Borneo House" (from 18 years)
In a recently renovated house in the centre of Berkeley, 5 minutes' walk away from the school, you will be welcomed by the couple who run this small residence. Ten comfortable bedrooms offer the possibility of single or double occupancy and the residents share the 3 available bathrooms. Internet access is free, and you will receive a continental breakfast from Monday to Friday. You will have limited access to the equipped kitchen but will be able to wash and iron your laundry free of charge once a week. The offer of single bedrooms is limited.

Leisure

The school gives students the opportunity to participate in a range of activities and outings, some free or at reduced prices, both during the week and on weekends. The number of options is impressive: basketball or volleyball games, shopping in San Francisco’s Union Square, BBQ’s on the Berkeley marina, swimming in Lake Anza or wine tasting in the Napa Valley… Weekend excursions are also possible, for example to the Yosemite National Park, Disneyland, Los Angeles or Las Vegas. You won’t have time to get bored! Sports fans are sure to have plenty to cheer about, with teams like the 49ers in American football, or the Giants in baseball.
