host family

One of the best ways to learn more about Spain and the Spanish people is to live with a family during your stay. Family life is informal and Spanish people are welcoming, friendly and talkative, so you will have plenty of opportunities to get to know our customs, cuisine, way of life etc. and of course plenty of opportunities to practice your Spanish in a relaxed and authentic environment.
Staying with a host family provides total immersion in the lifestyle and customs of the people of Madrid and will allow you to practice your Spanish at all times.
You will have a single room with the option to choose, breakfast, half board, (breakfast, and lunch or dinner) or full board (3 meals a day).
Accommodation rates include laundry once a week, the use of all the services of the house and your own key, so you can be free to come and go as you please (there are some restrictions for students under 16 years of age).
Our families are carefully selected by our accommodation officers and regularly inspected. We have Spanish families who live in the centre of the city, which means we can offer accommodation very close to the school.
Many students return several times to the same family and keep in contact with them for many years your friendship could last a lifetime.

International House policy is:
. To provide students with single rooms (unless a couple both attending courses or individuals request to share), which are comfortable, contain adequate heating and lighting and have a desk or table where the student can work.
. Not to accommodate people of the same nationality or language unless specifically request by students.
. To make a daily shower or bath available.
. To provide an adequate Spanish breakfast and, for those students who are being accommodated on half board or full board basis, substantial meals.
. To provide students with a door key for personal access.
. To treat students as a family guest and act in a friendly and hospitable manner.

In the case of a personality clash, the school will do its best to change the students to another house as quickly as possible.

Arrival
You should make your own way to your accommodation (unless a transfer has been requested).
When bookings are confirmed we will send you the accommodation address. You should advise families of your travel arrangements and the estimated time of arrival, this will avoid them having to wait unnecessarily.

Transfer
From Madrid Airport: Students arriving by plane at Barajas International Airport can either take a taxi directly to their destination (which will cost between 24 and 30 euros), or alternatively take a bus to Plaza de Colón (5 minutes from the school). These buses run every 10-15 minutes in both directions and cost approximately 4 euros.
Note: Transfer to and from the airport can be arranged for 1 or 2 people at a cost of 49 euros each way.

A single amount of 56 uros will be charged for administration fees.
