ALDENHAM SCHOOL THE LONDON EXPERIENCE

Aldenham School is just north west of London and is a traditional independent school in the quiet countryside. Over 400 years ago Queen Elizabeth I herself gave permission for the school to be built.

The school mixes tradition with modern facilities and provides the benefits of a countryside campus with easy access to central London, which is less than an hour away on public transport.

HOMESTAY Homestay gives students the opportunity to practice English in an everyday setting, outside the classroom.

Students have the opportunity to share cultural experiences, learn more about Britain and improve their languages skills – an experience that will stay with them for a lifetime.

Churchill House has been providing homestay accommodation for over forty years and understands the importance of a safe and friendly environment for our students. Homestay gives students the opportunity to experience the English way of life first hand and to practice English outside the classroom. All families providing homestay accommodation are carefully selected by our experienced accommodation managers and are revisited every year.

Our families do everything they can to welcome students to their friendly homes and to make their stay happy and successful.

Students can choose a shared or single room – shared is usually with a student of a different nationality so they can speak English together.

Homestay is a safe and enriching way to learn English as such, families provide breakfast and evening meals each day in the family home. The families also provide a weekly personal laundry. Many families are within 15 minutes walk of the school. As you would expect, we work closely with all our host families to ensure that all accommodation meets our very high standards.

The welfare of our homestay students is our prime concern, from the moment they arrive in the UK until they return home. To ensure that our students are safe, happy and cared for during their stay, we have a ratio of 1 member of staff to every 8 students to provide full and attentive supervision on activities. Junior students are walked home after the evening activity with our walking bus service.
