• More Details
  • Housing
  • The school provides students with the opportunity to live in off-campus residences or enjoy a homestay experience. For students who prefer an independent lifestyle, off-campus residences provide more privacy and offer opportunities to interact with people in the community outside the school environment. The school also arranges homestays for those students who want to experience local culture first-hand as a member of a family and practice their conversational English. Students are encouraged to make their housing arrangements as early as possible due to the limited amount of space available. Private off-campus apartments are also available; however students must make their own arrangements. For more information, use the Contact Address to ask the school directly.
  • Surrounding Area
  • Located in the lively mid-sized town of Eastbourne, on the south coast of England, the school is in a clean, safe and affluent neighborhood beautifully situated on the South Downs. Eastbourne is famous for being the sunniest place on the South Coast. Despite this comfortable setting, Eastbourne is just 90 minutes from London and half an hour from Brighton by train. The town has recently built a new marina - one of the largest in Europe, and a large shopping center. With an estimated population of 95,000, the area has seen human activity since the stone age and remained as an area of small settlements right up until the 19th Century. The town has continued to expand, making Eastbourne a prime seaside resort. Eastbourne boasts four theatres, numerous parks, a bandstand and interesting museums. One of the main focuses of its popularity is the four miles of shingle beach, lined with a seafront of hotels and guest houses.
