Accomodation

Host family
Being continually immersed in the culture of a country is the best way to learn a language. Living with a Californian family means sharing their daily life and culture and is an unforgettable experience. Families are chosen with care and know the school well. Students stay in individual rooms with breakfast provided.
Residence (from 18 years of age)
For more independent students, our partner school offers accommodation in a residence. Prices and complementary information are available on request.

Leisure

San Diego's geographical location in southern California and its magnificent natural port provide numerous opportunities for those who like swimming, surfing, windsurfing or cycling on the beautiful fine sand beaches of the Pacific Coast. The school offers a large variety of leisure activities such as surfing, diving (with a mask and snorkel) and sailing but also beach parties, concerts and even parachuting. Most of these activities are very cheap and some are even sometimes free. Excursions are also organised to allow you to discover such places as Los Angeles, Las Vegas or the Grand Canyon.
