Saint Michael's College offers two types of acommodation:

Host family and residential accommodation.

Saint Michael’s offers the choice of residential or host family accommodation.

We have recently built three new residential houses on the school grounds providing extremely high quality accommodation for our students.

The rooms are either single, twin and twin en-suite. At present all the rooms are charged at the same rate - it is normally a 'first come, first served' basis. Each residence also has its own TV lounge and a kitchen for students to prepare their own food if they wish.

Living in the international atmosphere of the residential accommodation gives students the opportunity to live with a student from another country – an ideal way to make new friends and learn about different cultures.

The students are closely supervised by friendly, approachable staff who are on hand 24 hours a day to offer close personal attention. Students have supervised study each weekday evening and on Saturday mornings for two hours.

In their free time students have access to common rooms with small kitchens and to television and video facilities. Our sports facilities can also be used – football, basketball, tennis, etc. There are also regular full-day excursion at the weekend and the school minibus is sometimes available for local trips.

All meals and a laundry service are provided at the College.

Our Host Family Officer takes great care in selecting host families. In each case we try to match all the students' requirements with the family profile. As the only school in the area using host families we can be selective and use only those families who we consider to be most suitable.

All our students receive a warm welcome and a friendly environment in which to live and study Naturally, it is not the same as living at home so students will have to adapt. They will be expected to live as one of the family, and this will sometimes involve helping the family in the house, doing simple things like keeping their bedroom tidy, setting the table or clearing away the dishes after a meal.

Many students really do become 'one of the family' and keep in touch with their host families for many years after their stay

All meals, except where lunch is provided at the school are taken with the host family.
