## About Southbourne School of English
Learn English near the sea, in a large school with a cozy atmosphere. That is perhaps the best description of a language course at the language school Southbourne School of English. The school is located in a luxurious, quiet residential area in Bournemouth where you can walk to the sandy beach within twenty minutes. The school is located in a villa-like building, has 22 classrooms and a cozy garden around where students often relax in the grass or at the picnic tables. The school has its own cafeteria that serves sandwiches, hot meals and snacks. In addition, the school has a busy program of activities, so even after the lessons there is plenty to do for students. The quality of the education is very good, the English lessons are accredited by the British Council and English UK.

"Working with Southbourne School of English is a good way of meeting new people from different parts of the world and different experiences. They support you as a host, pay quickly and always keep you up to date. I have been hosting for 16+ years and have no plans to stop. Super way to fund meals out, holidays or supporting your own family at university. I have made a number of lifelong friends who come to stay year on year."
