We believe that living in a home-
stay is the best way for students
to improve their English...

We choose from the very best local families. Typically, accommodation includes a comfortable, well-furnished single room with desk, half-board Monday-Friday (breakfast & evening meal); full-board Saturday & Sunday (breakfast, lunch, evening meal).

We never place students of the same nationality in a homestay unless asked.
Many of our students live less than 5 km from the school and most bus services from homestays to the school are direct. We can take into account the special needs of diabetic and vegetarian students, if we are given notice. Please let us know if you have any medical problems. Our accommodation officer, Helen Thompson, has over 20 years' experience. CESC's accommodation placement service is free.
Some of our host families have worked with us for over 20 years. Many of them have enjoyed excellent relationships with the students who stayed with them, and have even visited them in their home countries afterwards (for weddings, family events, etc).

  Other accommodation options   

Residence: CESC has a seven bedroom residence five minutes' walk from the school.

Hotel accommodation: We can help students find hotel accommodation in Colchester, if requested. This tends to  be a popular option among executive students in particular.
