English Language and Activity Programme (Homestay) — Edinburgh

Few cities in the world match Edinburgh for sheer atmosphere — and that atmosphere becomes a powerful teaching tool. Young learners aged 12–17 live with Scottish host families on full board, absorbing the rhythms of daily life in one of Europe's most historic capitals. Fifteen weekly hours of English tuition develop core skills in multinational classes, while a carefully designed activity programme takes students from Edinburgh Castle to Arthur's Seat, from traditional ceilidh evenings to modern arts spaces. No minimum language level is required. The programme runs from mid-June to early August, with flexible two-, three- or four-week stays. Students who arrive during Festival season gain an added dimension of cultural exposure that is simply unmatched anywhere else in the UK.
