Language study abroad - Activa Indicator Activa's indicator is based on 6 criterias

Population diversity

One of the conditions which guarantee the daily practice of the language is of the diversity of the nationalities of the students present at the school.

Population Diversity

Diversity of and distance to cultural activities

Access to museums, movie theatres, theatres, athletic facilities with things like pools, golf courses, tennis courts, or even the possible excursion activities for weekends are also evaluated.
This evaluation takes the location of the school into account: in the inner city, on the coast, or even in the country where the possibilities are just as diverse.

Diversity of activities

Quality of the environment:

Here, great importance is placed on evaluating the quality and the diversity of elements which make up the school environment: neighbourhood, proximity to restaurants, cafés, shops, etc.
We also take equally into account the location: a school with a view of the beach will be given a better grade than one which offers no panoramic view, etc…

Environment

Diversity and quality of the school’s services and equipment

Each school has a variety of things to offer and this evaluation takes into account a student’s accessibility to services and equipment for the whole year.
For example: cafeteria, library, media room, student lounges, vending machines, WIFI access…
Certain schools are also exam centers which allow you to register and take the exam in same location as the prep courses (for example the TOEIC).

Services and facilities

Diversity of available housing accommodations

Certain schools are able to provide up to 5 different types of housing: family home-stay, student residence, youth hostel, hotels, or apartments.
Here, your personal comfort is also measured and you have the ability to choose your housing according to your preferences

Housing accomodations

Distance of housing to and from the school

The evaluation ranks housing establishments by distance to the school. The highest grade corresponds to the most covenant and accessible housing option to the school (ex. 5 minutes by foot from the school to your living accommodations to 15 minutes from the school.)
