Spanish Host Families
Family accommodation is available throughout the year. Most families live near the school and are rarely more than 20 minutes away by public transport. Very occasionally, a family may be up to 30 minutes from the school as some of the most elegant districts of Barcelona are on the edge of the city.

All host families are carefully selected, and the program includes:

  • Private single or double bedroom (for students traveling with a companion, who previously request this) with proper heating and lighting
  • Laundry service and change of sheets and towels once per week
  • Hot water for a daily bath or shower
  • An adequate continental breakfast and a substantial evening meal if students requested half board

NOTE: Dinner time in Spain is usually served later than you may be accustomed to, usually after 9 p.m. You can always speak to your hosts regarding mealtimes, in case you find this inconvenient.

Be aware that all of our host families live in flats (apartments), as there are practically no individual houses in Barcelona. Apartment buildings (both old and modern) are rarely more than 8 floors high. A typical flat will have 3 or 4 bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, a dining room and living room. Some flats have terraces; almost all of them have balconies.

All host families treat students as their family guests, and behave in a friendly and hospitable manner

Shared Apartments
All apartments are centrally located and are therefore between 10-20 minutes from the school on foot or by public transport. Students normally have their own individual bedroom although some larger rooms are also available for two or more students. Students traveling to Barcelona with friends or family can therefore request to share a bedroom in an apartment.

Apart from a bed (or beds) each bedroom also contains a desk and at least one wardrobe. Each apartment also has a kitchen, bathroom and living room which students share. These apartments are fully furnished and facilities include a washing machine and TV. Some apartments also have telephones, but these are programmed to accept incoming calls only. Students are provided with sheets, blankets and towels, but they should bring their own beach towels. The apartments are cleaned once a week and bed linen is also changed weekly.

Each student is provided with a set of keys so that they can come and go when they please. Students arriving on the Sunday before the course begins should make their own way to their apartment (unless a transfer has been requested).

Note: When possible, students of the same age and sex will be placed together in the same apartment. As this is not always possible however, if students do not want to share an apartment with people of different ages or sex, they should make this very clear on the application form.
