Accommodation

Host family
As California is one of the most multicultural states, there is no such thing as a typical family. Staying with one of them allows you to get an idea of the American way of life. Renowned for their hospitality, the Californians welcome you in a single room with half board or breakfast only provided, depending on your choice.

Residence "Vantaggio Cosmo" (from 18 years)
St. Giles also proposes the accommodation option of staying in a residence, with breakfast included, ten minutes' walk away from the school. The bedrooms, for single use, are well-equipped, each with a private bathroom, a TV, telephone, Internet access, microwave, fridge. In addition, the residents have access to the common kitchen for preparing their meals.

Leisure

The school gives you the opportunity to discover not only the city of San Francisco, but also to visit other destinations such as Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Yosemite National Park, Napa Valley and its vineyards or Lake Tahoe and Cruz, for skiing in winter. San Francisco remains an excellent base from which to explore California and its magnificent Pacific coast.
