Accommodation
Homestay To maximize the opportunities for speaking the language, CISL has a policy of never allowing two students of the same mother tongue to stay in any one host family. Each student has a private room. Meals are included in our homestay rates, either breakfast only or breakfast and dinner, 7 days per week. Our host families are carefully selected and monitored according to strict criteria established by CISL. Homes must be comfortable, the families welcoming and, most importantly, CISL homestay families are genuinely interested in receiving students and helping them to develop fluency in English.
