Our partner school is ideally located on Market Street in the centre of San Francisco just a short hop from Union Square. The language school is well-equipped and provides all the facilities necessary to allow you to study in the best conditions: 34 modern, spacious and bright classrooms, a language lab with a DVD library and two computer labs with quick and free internet access. The student café and a comfortable lounge await you during breaks to relax or chat with your new friends. Located close to the school, the Yerba Buena Gardens are a real oasis of peace in the heart of the city. It's perfect for relaxing after a day of class or a visit to the Museum of Modern Art, unless you’d rather discover the hills of San Francisco on one of the famous cable cars that can be caught directly opposite the school!

MI sono trovata molto bene nella città, ricca di attrazioni da visitare! Tutti molto gentili e disponibili. Il costo dei due libri è un po' elevato considerando il tempo di utilizzo. Sarebbe stato bello avere la possibilità di prenderli in prestito. Mi sono trovata davvero benissimo con Patricia, è una signora molto disponibile, gentile e generosa. La casa è accogliente, la mia camera spaziosa e mi permetteva di avere la mia privacy. Ho avuto la possibilità di fare amicizia e conoscenza con altri studenti che vivevano nella mia stessa casa. Ogni pomeriggio/sera c'è la possibilità di partecipare ad un'attività proposta dalla scuola. Solitamente si tratta di visite guidate gratuite nei punti più attrattivi della città oppure consigli su bar/ristoranti/eventi con offerte speciali. Grazie mille per avermi permesso di vivere questa esperienza indimenticabile!

Wir verlassen St Giles San Francisco mit einem weinenden Auge. Tolle Lehrer, tolle Organisation, tolle Mitschüler, tolle Cafeteria. .... Das war bereits unser 2. Aufenthalt bei St Giles (letztes Jahr New York). Und hoffentlich nicht unser letzter Besuch! Gute Infrastruktur. Gute Lage. In der 2. Woche kam eine Gruppe aus Italien mit 45 Schülern. Ich hatte dann 8 Italiener in einer Gruppe. Ich finde dies persönlich nicht optimal. Die Schule hat aber das bestmögliche daraus gemacht. Mein Sohn war begeistert

Le directeur hyper sympa et à l écoute. On a super bien mangé. J en garderai un souvenir inoubliable. J encourage chaque personne à vivre cette expérience. Très difficile de quitter ce lieu. Plein plein plein d émotion. On s attache aux personnes. Merci à Georges qui est un enseignant incroyable, gentil, souriant, rigolo, mes enfants ont eu énormément de plaisir. Ma fille m a dit : « Je veux rester ici à l école » chaque matin ils étaient heureux d aller à l école. Un tout grand merci aussi à Éric le directeur, chaque jour il vient dire bonjour, toujours de bon humeur, prend soin des gens. Merci merci merci Mon fils de 28 ans à aussi fait un séjour linguistique à Londres, on ressent les mêmes choses. Je pense qu il faut vivre ça un jour pour comprendre.

Duration: 24 weeks

St Giles, San Francisco
Duration: 4 weeks

Here, people say that San Francisco is the only town in the world to have a soul. Whether this is a legend or not, after staying here for a while, I think this is true. The city in itself is beautiful. The architecture of the buildings, the parks, the harbour, the houses, the streets, everything is of rare beauty.

You never get bored in San Francisco. The city offers plenty of interesting things to do. Museum visits, sport, bowling, cinema, shows, concerts and much more. Local food is a daily discovery because there is an impressive range of great value restaurants to try. Same thing as regards outings: there is a host of great venues which always offer good music.

If I had to describe the local atmosphere in one word, I would say “cool”. SF inhabitants are really open-minded, warm and very respectful.

At the St Giles International school, I had the chance to meet great people, whether students like me or teachers. The organisation is perfect and the classes are very interesting.

In short, I more than loved my course. This experience will stay with me forever. Many thanks to ESL for organising the trip perfectly.

St Giles International, San Francisco
Duration: 24 weeks

I’m currently taking the Advanced Cambridge course and I feel my English is improving. My teacher is really great! I didn’t know anybody when I arrived, but I have made some amazing friends from all over the world. This experience has opened my mind. I had stereotypes of some cultures, but those have completely gone because of this experience. I am less shy than I was before I came here because I’m forced to speak and be more out-going. I have also gained a lot of independence. I’m really enjoying San Francisco and my time at St Giles.

Host family
As California is one of the most multicultural states, host families can be very diverse. Staying with one of them allows you to get an idea of the American way of life! You’ll be welcomed in a single room with a shared bathroom and can choose between half-board or breakfast only. If you want a private bathroom, you can request the "superior" option. For the “standard” option, families live 35-50 away from the school, while the families in the “suburban” category live around 60-75 minutes away. If you're travelling with a friend, a twin room is more convenient.
