Accommodation options

Students have the following housing options:

Homestay

A Homestay is the greatest experience you can have when you travel. In an instant, you make friends and become a part of a family with whom you will correspond forever. You will play a great part in global exchange, promoting understanding and respect for other cultures and views.

Our Student Services Departments ensure that students are placed in caring and experienced Homestay families, while carefully matching families to students' Homestay requests. Students' welfare is as important to the school as their academic achievement, and we believe that this is what distinguishes us from other schools.

Schools provide 24-hour emergency contact numbers, which allow not only for students to feel safe and at ease, but their families in their own countries can have a peace of mind, too.

Au Pair (dependent on the school)

Au Pair is a program that places students with local host families that seek help with childcare or household tasks. In exchange for working, a student receives accommodation and meals.

Generally to be eligible for the au pair program, students must:

• Be between 18 and 30 years old, in good health, mature and responsible
• Speak English at a minimum of Intermediate level
• Be able to show that they have some experience in childcare and household duties (such as cleaning, ironing and cooking)
• Provide references (An international driver's license, though not compulsory, would be an advantage)

Alternative Accommodation

Although GEOS does not really recommend alternative accommodation we understand that for some students it is the best option. This is why all schools are able to help in finding alternative accommodation i.e. backpackers, flat mates etc.

Schools will always have listings of shared accommodation arrangements and the friendly staff is always there to help any student who may have an enquiry.
