Homestay hosts play a crucial role in our students’ experiences. Their warmth and hospitality create a home away from home for our international guests, making their time with us truly memorable. We’re incredibly fortunate to work with such amazing families who make a difference every day.

Now, let’s shine a spotlight on one of our exceptional host families: the Masons go above and beyond to ensure our students feel like part of their own family. Their dedication and kindness make a lasting impact on the lives of our students, creating memories that will be treasured for years to come.

ENGLISH + MINDFULNESS 2024

While the English language is used all around the globe and remains vital for communication in international contexts, mental health and wellbeing are also extremely important in our lives.

We live busy lives, with demanding professional goals, and it is more important than ever to find ways to cope with stress and feel in harmony with the world around us.

What better way to work towards that balance than with a short English course combined with mindfulness activities?

With our English + Mindfulness course, students will be able to focus on their English language skills in the morning and complement their course with mindfulness activities in the afternoon.
