Staying with a host offers a more immersive experience of the local language and culture, and many students remain in contact with their hosts long after the summer. Junior students share a room, with the option to be placed with someone of the same or a different nationality, according to preference.

Travel to the junior centre is by public bus; students are provided with a bus pass, and our staff accompany them to the bus stop after lessons or activities each day.

Please note that the recommended minimum age for homestay students in Southampton is 13.
