First Certificate in English Half Day

Homestay means you live with a family - in your own room or sharing with another student. Staying with a host family may be a better option than residential if you want to practise the language with native English speakers and engage more with British culture. Sometimes, lasting friendships are made during homestays. All families are carefully selected and pre-registered with the school. A homestay student lives, eats, and shares the majoritiy of their time outside school hours with the hosts and their family. Family events such as dining out, amusement parks, camping, travel, etc. usually involve the host student who may or may not be expected to pay a portion for the participation (tickets, parking, gas, travel expenses, etc.). The student is invited to participate in Holiday festivities and family events (weddings, birthdays, etc.). The student must abide by the host family's house rules such as; chores to perform, curfews, use of internet, telephone, guest visits, smoking and drinking. All accommodation are quoted weekly from Sunday to Saturday. Students must arrive on Sunday and depart on Saturday.

Accommodation arrangement in which a hotel, homestay family etc provides bed and breakfast and an evening meal, but no meal at lunchtime. Standard of meals can vary.
