ACCOMMODATION WITH GUARDIANSHIP as part of the EAT
Integral to EAT© at LISC is the homestay in a caring family. In this way, students benefit from maximum language support and become familiar with English culture, traditions and way of life. All homestay hosts are carefully chosen, specially trained, and meet our rigorous selection criteria.
This service is offered by our sister company Sutherland Education which is a guardianship organisation accredited by AEGIS.
The Association for the Education and Guardianship of International Students is an independent charity originated by Andrew Sutherland in 1991 and has a code of practice and strict standards for the care of minors staying in Britain without their parents. AEGIS is endorsed by government departments and the British Council.
