Living With a Host Family in Brighton

Living with a Host Family in Brighton is a fantastic opportunity for students to learn English!

Host Family in Brighton - English Courses - Study Abroad - Summer Camp - Learn English

When participating in a study abroad summer camp program, feeling safe and “at home” is an essential part of the learning process because students can focus better on their course work when they feel that they're in a safe & comfortable environment.

If you choose the host family accommodation in Brighton option, then you will stay in a double or triple room in an authentic British family’s home. Full board will be provided to you, which means 3 meals per day, including a packed lunch to take with you to school.

It is important to realize that host families often do not live near the city center; however, downtown is reachable through use of Brighton’s public transportation system.

Although, you won't be living downtown, living with a host family in Brighton is still the most effective way to full immerse into the British culture and the English language.

Facilities while living with a host family in Brighton include:
• Double or triple rooms are available for students to share
• 3 Meals (packed lunch) are provided daily
• Students travel to & from school using public transportation
• Host families in Brighton live approx. 20 to 40 minutes from language school

Important Notes:
Although students will be living with a host family in Brighton, formal supervision may be limited. Also, students must travel alone to & from the language school every day by public transit or walking.

Typically, on the first day of English courses, a host family member will escort the student to the language school. Once the student has learned the way, he/she will be expected to travel independently using detailed directions given by the host family.

Once all English courses and scheduled activities are finished for the day, students must return to their host family accommodation for dinner. Only with prior signed parental consent are students permitted to leave in the evenings and/or the weekend.

Host families in Brighton have the right to enforce curfews. If students do not abide by the curfew times, they will lose their rights to go out at night altogether.

The Host Family choice of accommodation is recommended for young, independent students - usually between 15 & 17 years old. Outside of organized activities and the English courses, adult supervision may be limited. Therefore, students must have a decent level of maturity, confidence and international travel experience before booking this accommodation option.

We also request to be made aware of any special requests (such as specials diets, allergies, etc…) when enrolling.

Living with a host family in Brighton is a fantastic experience for students. Frequently, the students and their host families become life-long friends!
