Staying with a family from Manchester is the best way to fully immerse yourself in the English language and culture while gaining confidence in a reassuring family atmosphere. You'll stay in a single room (double, if you're travelling with another student) and have access to the common areas of the house. The bathroom is shared, and you can do laundry once a week. Choose between breakfast only, half-board or self-catering. Families usually have internet access. Manchester is a multicultural city, which is why our families’ profiles are very diverse. They live between 60 minutes from the school by public transport.

NOTE: It is compulsory for students under 18 to book homestay accommodation, airport transfers (if arriving or leaving between 20:00 and 8:00), and provide a parental consent form.
