The Bright School understands the importance of finding suitable accommodation for international students. The Bright School pre-inspects every type of accommodation, so you can be assured your chosen accommodation will be comforting and welcome. We can offer different types of accommodation to suit your needs. Typically accommodation is arranged in advance of your visit.
Together with Student Welfare, accommodation is one of our top priorities, please email the school before your arrival or come to the school office at any time with questions or concerns. The Bright School can also arrange private transfers from any airport. Please contact the school office for more information and price list can be seen in the student guide section.
Homestay
We can arrange a homestay. Living with selected and approved local families offers a great opportunity to live in the local community, to be part of the family with breakfast and evening meals included. Selected families will be located near the school or near local bus routes. The Bright School will offer contact details of the homestay family before you arrive, so you can contact them in advance of your visit.
Living in a homestay is a great way to practice your English and learn more about our culture. Homestay will usually take no more than 3 to 4 students, with individual rooms and twin rooms available. Twin rooms have to be booked together.
We can also cater for different requirements such as dietary or any allergies, simply let the school know in advance and we will be able to help you. 16 and 17 year old students may only select homestay accommodation.
Summer Residence
The Bright School offers a self-catering summer residence. Our residence is based in the town centre only 4 minutes walk from the school. The residence is open every July and August. Each room is en suite, which means each room has its own bathroom. The residence also has WIFI. Please contact the school for details about opening times and prices.

We can also assist in the provision of self-catering accommodation, and this is provided on request, and can not be guaranteed. Located throughout Bournemouth, this accommodation type will suit higher level and more independent students. The Bright School recommends spending at least 1 week in a homestay before selecting your self catering accommodation. This accommodation is for 18 years + only.
Please note that independent living does require you to be very responsible. You must budget your money to buy food, there may be bills to pay, such as electricity or gas. Please note the Bright School always recommends homestay accommodation, and will only allow students who are 18 and over to study whilst in self catering accommodation.
Private Home Accommodation
This accommodation is in a private home and for adults only, more than four adult students may be accommodated in the home. Please note there may be less direct contact with the host(s). However if you wish to located with lots of students, this is a good option. This is only available on request, and please contact the school for more information.
