Millions of visitors every year from all over the
world are attracted to Brighton's colourful
atmosphere. Highlights include its theatres and
clubs, fashionable shops, hotels, cafes and
restaurants, its famous antique markets and
exotic Royal Pavilion, its huge marina, and of
course its lively beach and sea front promenade
and grand Victorian Piers. Surrounded by
beautiful English countryside and near to the
famous Sussex Downs and white cliffs, Brighton is
small enough to get to know easily and safely,
and yet it is only 50 minutes by train from the
centre of London. There is so much for everyone
to enjoy and Brighton's friendly and relaxed
atmosphere makes it the perfect choice for
students of any age.

DOROTHY STRINGER HIGH SCHOOL values its
partnership with BISS, and welcomes
international students into their community
believing such visits are of cultural and
educational benefit to its own British students,
as well as to their overseas guests. The
school is large with fantastic modern
facilities, and is located in a good residential
area of Brighton, from where we also
select our host families, and within easy reach
of the city centre shops and beach.

seaside resort, hugely popular with overseas
students, under one hour by train to

A relaxed and caring family atmosphere is the
best possible environment in which to learn
English. BISS have carefully selected a number of
English families who are waiting to welcome our
teenage students. Students are encouraged not
only to learn English but also to participate in
British family life. Most families have children
of their own, and students will be treated as
'one of the family'. Our families provide all
meals, laundry service, full care and
supervision. Accommodation is in twin rooms, but
some single rooms can be booked. Religious and
other dietary requirements can be catered for, in
most cases. Please advise at the time of booking
and we will be pleased to discuss this with you.
We try to place students in families that are
within walking distance from school. However in
the busy summer months this is not always
possible, and some students will need to travel
to school by bus. For a supplement it is possible
to guarantee a family that is close to school or
book a daily taxi collection service. It is also
possible to book a guarantee that there will be
no students of the same nationality in the family
- meaning English is the only language spoken.
18
We strongly recommend that all students buy a bus
pass - Brighton is easy to get around by bus, and
our experience is that all students want bus
passes irrespective of their family location.
Dorothy Stringer School is located near a No 5b
bus stop.
