Students will have the unique opportunity to share and experience the day to day life of the family together with all the diversity of English culture. School staff members are available at all times to help students adjust to life in an English family, and to serve as a liaison between them and their homestay provider.
What students should expect from their homestay provider:
· Twin room - students are placed in a twin room with other students of the same gender

With advanced notice the school can accommodate special requests eg. non smoking family, no pets, allergies, special dietary requirements etc. However students should bear in mind that this may not always be possible. At the time of booking we must be advised of any medical conditions, allergies or medication that needs to be taken by students. We will endeavour to find a homestay provider that can accept students with medical conditions. However if we are not advised of this in advance, we cannot take responsibility if the homestay provider refuses to accept the student in their home.
Meals
Students staying in homestay are entitled to breakfast, lunch and dinner. Upon arrival, homestay providers will advise students of the time dinner will be served and students must try and respect this time.

Normally meals are as follows: Breakfast: tea/coffee, toast, jam and cereal with the homestay provider. Lunch: a combination of hot and cold lunches. Dinner: a hot meal, for example pasta/chicken/beef/pork/pizza/ hamburgers, mineral water and dessert/fruit.
Our greeting families are recruited with great care. The criteria of selection are very rigorous and each family must satisfy a precise conditions of contract: : excellent morality, desire to communicate with their host, satisfactory social standing. We should specify that the families will only speak with you the language of the country where you will be. It is the principle of the immersion courses!
