Homestays are carefully selected by Sarah Tomlinson who visits them regularly. We take up an enhanced DBS ( Police Check) on all members of the family over the age of 16 and confidential references are also taken up so that we know our homes are taking in students for the right reasons.
Our students share a room with another Isca student of a different nationality to them ( same gender and similar age). We find this makes it easier for students to learn as much English as possible with the homestay and with the other student. You must tell us if you have more than one mother tongue as we guarantee you will not be in a homestay with another student of the same mother tongue. If you do not tell us, we will have to move you.
This is a full board accommodation ( with packed lunch from Monday to Saturday and on the final Sunday when they depart)
visa

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying in the UK for over 11 months, you will receive a reference number called a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) that you need to submit to the UK embassy along with your General Student Visa application. Students who have successfully booked a language course and have paid their fees will receive a CAS from Isca School. Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.

If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa. As a student visitor, you will not be able to work part-time while studying. If you plan to study in the UK for 11 months or less, a letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged £ 55 when you register.

Flights and airport transfer

Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to Exeter based on your budget, schedule and preferences.

Travel insurance

Study abroad worry-free with Language International's health and personal effects insurance coverage. When you book a course with us, you can opt to purchase an international insurance plan that covers not only your health care cost but also loss of your personal belongings. You must book your insurance in advance when you register.

Many apologies . We thought that the enquiries received via this website would be forwarded to our school email address however it seems that yours did not. I have just seen it today as I came to update our prices.
I hope you found a nice school for your children last year
Many apologies again,
Sarah
