Accommodation Info


Nearly all our students stay in host families. We recommend this arrangement as the best way to experience the British way of life and to have a chance to practise English in a relaxed and informal environment. Eastbourne is a medium-sized town, so many students are able to walk to school from their host family accommodation. Others may have to take a short bus ride. Accommodation The service includes room, breakfast and evening meal, with lunch at weekends. The room will be of a reasonable size, decorated and furnished to a good standard, well heated or ventilated (according to the season of the year). You will have a table or desk and lamp for study. You can take a daily bath or shower. The family will do a reasonable amount of light washing for you. The family will eat evening meals with you. Sheets and towels are changed weekly. We never place two students with the same first language in the same family unless by special request. The host family will take into account specific requests about food. Please note that during the summer, younger students may be asked to share a room with another student of a different nationality.

Social Activities


Eastbourne School of English has a permanent full-time Social Organiser who arranges a variety of activities. The programme includes sports, theatre and cinema visits, trips, excursions and parties. As well as arranging the programme for all our students, the Social Organiser is available to help with any other free-time activities you want to try.
