Homestay accommodation

Students can discover more about the island of Jersey, it’s culture and people

A student’s time living with a local & English-speaking host makes up one of the most important aspects of their stay. Our hosts welcome students into their homes and provide a friendly & supportive environment in which they can continue their 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.
