Afternoons and evenings are for you: the National Gallery, Thames walks, or group hangouts. Choose homestay with a local family (within 45 minutes of school) for immersive everyday fluency, or a convenient residence.
Brighton buzzes with creative coastal energy. Our school near the iconic seafront lets you catch pier sunrises before class and pebble-beach afternoons. Explore with your SPRACHCAFFE community. Stay in Residence Seafront with en-suite bathrooms, full board, and stunning sea views-surrounded by fellow students from day one.
