Homestay Accommodation
Homestay is where a student stays with a family around the Manchester area so they can experience British family life. All our homestay families have been visited by our accommodation officer and are re-visited regularly to ensure quality- standards are maintained. Our families offer a welcoming and warm atmosphere, with the emphasis upon being part of the family.
Staying with a host family is a fantastic way of experiencing British culture and way of life. The experience that students get from staying in Homestay accommodation is invaluable.
All our families are in the Greater Manchester area and they are on average, a 30 minute bus ride to the school. Some families are closer, and some are further away.
You will get breakfast and an evening meal every day, and lunch at the weekend. Some hosts are happy to cater for special diets such as vegetarian and halal. Mealtimes are a great opportunity to sit down with your family and practice the English you have learnt in the day!
