Homestay

Nearly all our students choose to stay with a local homestay host. This ‘Homestay’ offers excellent value and allows you to practise your English after school and learn more about life in England.

Our Homestay hosts are friendly and caring and will make you feel very welcome in their clean and comfortable homes. You will have a single bedroom with study facilities, and meals with your hosts. There may be another English in Margate student of a different nationality in the home at the same time. During the high season we reserve the right to place a student under the age of 18 in a twin room with another student of the same gender and a similar age but a different first language.

Your homestay host will provide you with half-board during the week (breakfast and evening meal), and fullboard at weekends (breakfast, lunch and evening meal).

We can provide suitable homestay for most preferences; for example a non-smoking home, or a home without pets or perhaps a host who can prepare vegetarian meals. As our language school is in the centre of town, you can buy lunch from a variety of sandwich bars, pubs, shops, cafes and restaurants.

Our Accommodation Manager will ensure you are entirely happy and comfortable during your stay and will help you to feel at home in your accommodation.

A supplement of £60 per week will be required for diets that require buying specific products, e.g. gluten-free, dairy-free, etc.

EiM does not accept responsibility for any loss, damage or misadventure students may suffer in the family, the school or elsewhere, or if students miss classes due to circumstances beyond our control. Students are liable to pay for any damage they cause at their accommodation.
