Our Courses

Family Atmosphere

A home from home

Our school is run like a small family business. You get our Principal -Anna's direct phone number to call in an emergency. We want you to feel safe and at home whilst with us.

Our Team

28 min walk

Maximum walk time from school to homestay

Almost all of our host families are within a 28-minute walk of the school, all with easy bus routes for rainy days. We select hosts for the quality of their accommodation and warmth, so some may live a bit further away. If your host is beyond a 28-minute walk, you'll receive a free Brighton bus pass from Loxdale.

Our Accommodation

Stunning School Building

A beautiful, traditional English manor reminiscent of Hogwarts.

Loxdale is lucky enough to have 3 buildings on our site. The main one is a grand Victorian mansion whilst the other two are newer. All the buildings are surrounded by our gardens and trees.
