You will have the choice between a host family carefully selected by the school or the school residence in a twin or single room.
Staying in a host family allows you to get to know the local culture in a direct and authentic way and to speak English in your everyday life. You will probably be staying with another student in the same family. When they arrive, students are given advises and explanations to go to school in the morning (by walk, taxi or public transportation). After the evening activities, a member of the school's staff follows the participant to the bus station or call a taxi for him.
In the school residence you have the choice between a twin or single room. There are 6 buildings, very close from each other. Here you are more independent and you can meet other students around the same age. There is always someone from the school to whom you can go if you have questions.
In both cases, participants get 3 meals a day (including a lunch packet). They can wash their clothes once a week. An infirmary is located 5 minutes away from the school if needed.
Activities marked with a £ come at an additional charge of £15 per activity.
