FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I don′t know whether to choose homestay or residence. What do you suggest?

Homestay accommodation is intended to give students a taste of British life. They live with local people and take part in their daily lives. In this way, they have an opportunity to practise English and learn about British culture. However, you should also consider that they may not live in the same way as you do. Their customs, routines and eating habits may be completely different to your own. If you do not feel your child can easily adapt to this way of life, we suggest residential accommodation. We also recommend the residence for students who want to be guaranteed to be near St Helier.

Can my child be placed in the same homestay as their friend?

Yes. Please write the name of the person they wish to share with on the application form.

What do you recommend for students aged 12?

We have specially selected hosts for this age group. Nevertheless, younger students can be prone to home sickness, especially if it their first trip away from home alone. This is why we insist that students aged 12 stay in a homestay with a friend or older brother/sister.

My child has specific dietary requirements. Can these be catered for?

Our hosts can cater for basic diet requirements such as a vegetarian diet at no extra cost. Specific dietary requirements, catering for intolerances & allergies may incur an additional charge of £27.50 per week if staying in homestay or residence. Please give as much information as possible to the office in order for the hosts to prepare for this.

I want my child to stay in a homestay near the study centre/in St Helier.

Wherever possible we try to take into account students’ preferences. However we are unable to guarantee such requests, and students should be aware that during busy periods, it is more difficult to meet requests about homestay location. We recommend that students who want to be near St Helier should choose residential accommodation.

I want my child to be in a homestay with English children of their age.

Wherever possible we try to take into account students’ preferences. However it is not always possible to meet these requirements, especially at peak periods. Please also consider that English teenagers, like all teenagers, can be very independent and may not necessarily wish to spend their free time with students.

Can my child arrive at the homestay on a Saturday and depart on a Sunday?

In order to allow the host time to prepare for the arrival of their next students, we ask all students to try to arrive on Sunday and leave on Saturday. If they are unable to arrive on a Sunday, a Saturday arrival is accepted for an additional fee but we regret that Sunday departures are not possible.

Who will come to pick my child up on arrival? What about the departure?

The host or residence staff will meet your child at the harbour or airport when they arrive. They will be holding a St Brelade’s College arrival card with their name on so that they can be easily recognised. They will also take your child back to the airport or harbour at the end of their stay. Please note that students staying in the residence may also be collected by a taxi driver.

I will accompany my child to Jersey; can I drop them off at the homestay myself?

If you are accompanying your child to Jersey we will organise a meeting time and place. This will usually be the harbour or study centre, as it is easy to find.

When should I provide arrival details?

We need accurate information concerning the date, time and place of arrival in Jersey at least four weeks before the start of the course. It is essential we have these details in time to inform the hosts so that they can make the necessary preparations ahead of your child’s stay. You will need to provide these details directly to us via our arrival detail form which we will send you upon booking.
