Accommodation, Cambridge

  • Homestay

During the academic year (September – June) the school offers single rooms with breakfast and dinner daily. In the summer adults live in single rooms with breakfast and dinner daily but juniors (14-16 years) live in twin rooms with a student of the same sex but different nationality. They can thus make new friends and practise their English at the same time. They have breakfast and dinner daily and lunch is provided.

  • Residential Accommodation

Select English, Cambridge owns four Halls of Residence all within easy walking distance of its school in Station Road. They offer a safe, quiet environment. Each Hall takes only about 12-14 students and they have a family atmosphere. In the summer these Halls are occupied by junior students (14-16 years). They have twin rooms and a few single rooms. Some of the rooms have their own shower. Each hall has a computer with internet access. Each Hall has its own warden who lives in the Hall and does the cooking, cleaning and supervises the students. The students have breakfast and dinner daily (and a packed lunch for juniors in summer only).
