Living Independently/Flatting

Even if a student is over 18 years old, we do not allow students to live on their own in studio accommodation or to flat with others. This would only be considered an option in truly exceptional circumstances.

The reason for this is simple: When past students have lived outside of homestay families, their attendance, academic progress and language skills have dropped significantly. 

We want our students to be the best students that they can be and to gain the most from their time with us. Flatting is something that a student can do after they leave our school.
