Homestay

Experience British life by staying with a Jersey host

Staying with a local, English-speaking host whilst in Jersey is one of the best ways to discover more about the island, culture and people. Our hosts welcome you into their homes and provide a casual & supportive environment in which you can continue your English experience.

We work closely with hosts around the island, many of whom have been working with us for numerous years, granting us the knowledge to place students appropriately.

In accordance with British Council regulations, our hosts are visited and checked regularly by our Student Services department, who also check them through the relevant authorities.

This option is ideal if you want to immerse yourself in Jersey life or are looking for reasonably priced accommodation over the short or longer term.
