Accommodation

We know from experience that suitable accommodation is a vital element in the success of a language study stay abroad. Feeling at ease and having an enriching experience, with a host family or with your friends in a residence is essential in order to want to communicate, exchange and to discover the culture which surrounds you.  A quality accommodation is necessary in order for you to make the most out of your classes and to invest yourself 100% in the sports and cultural activities proposed by the school. For this reason, the host families and the residences are selected according to strict criteria and it is also the reason why we stay in permanent contact with those in charge of accommodation in each of our partner schools.

Depending on your destination and your age, you can opt for a host family or a residence. In both cases, you are in a situation to practise the local language. With a host family, you will discover the hospitality and security of a second home whilst in a residence, you will learn to share your daily life with other students and participate in group life in a festive and very friendly atmosphere.

Living with other students in the same residence, it's having the chance to be able to share different points of view and cultures and to make friends whilst forgetting about frontiers. Accommodation is in a shared room and supervision is assured by the qualified staff of our partner schools. There are generally communal showers siutated on each floor. The accommodation also includes full board*, with breakfast and the evening meal generally being served in the residence and the midday meal is taken in the school's cafeteria or on an excursion.
For the youngest students, accommodation is in a campus residence. The main meals are served in the canteen of the residence, the midday meal being generally provided as a packed lunch in the school or during outings or excursions. In addition, the group leaders in charge of watching over the students also live in the residence and are available to them on a 24-hour basis. Residential accommodation is really the ideal accommodation option in order to live with others in a group and to make new friends!

*Except for American campuses

Staying with a host family has numerous advantages. You will benefit from the security of a friendly environment, the company of the members of the family and you will discover how the people really live there. Generally speaking, during the week, you will be provided with your breakfast and the evening meal. For the midday meal, you will eat with the other students in the school's cafeteria or the family will provide you with a packed lunch. At the weekends, you will be provided with full board.

Please note: this type of accommodation is best suited to independent students who will be able to get to the school on their own by using public transport or the bus system put in place by the school.
