Living with a host family in their private home - a homestay - is the best way to practise English in a relaxed and social environment outside of classes. All the hosts are known to the school personally and they inspect all of them at least once a year. Host families provide a friendly environment, a clean and comfortable bedroom, good food, and a quiet place for study.
Homestays are located less than 40 minutes from school on foot, by bicycle or using the frequent bus services. The hosts are typical of British and Cambridge society as a whole, with different ages and occupations, and from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
If another student is placed in your homestay, he or she will not be a native speaker of your language, so communication will be in English.
