Accommodation

Host family
Families are carefully selected by the school's staff and are situated around 30 minutes away from the school. Half board will be proposed to you and you will stay in a single room. In addition, the standard + host family option allows you to benefit from a private bathroom and more comfort. It is notably during meals and the moments that you will spend with the family that you will have the best opportunities to acquire complementary language knowledge outside of class, in a natural and friendly environment.

Shared apartments
If you prefer the company of other international students, you will be able to decide to stay in student apartments. The kitchen and bathroom are shared whilst you will have a private bedroom.

Leisure

The school organises two or three leisure activities per week, for free or at reduced rates. A visit to the neighbouring wine-growing region, and outings to the museums or to the many festivals in Santiago, will allow you to discover the culture and the local way of life. Weekend excursions will take you as far as the coast, where you can admire the Pacific Ocean as far as the horizon. In the east you have the Andes where skiing, rafting and all other mountain activities are available to you. Otherwise, you could go south to the fabulous National Park and explore the lakes, inlets and snow-capped volcanoes. Latin America is also synonymous with music, rhythm and dance. Of course, you will have the opportunity to learn to dance the salsa, and come nightfall you can show off your talent on the dance floors of Santiago!
