ETHOS Language School

An American school with native speakers located in Cebu City, Philippines


Outside Stay Option — Bayfront Capitol

The Bayfront Hotel in Cebu City is a comfortable 3-star hotel with two locations, offering ETHOS students convenient, well-equipped rooms if you want a bit more comfort and independence during your study.

Depending on traffic, both locations are about a 20–30 minute drive from ETHOS. You can arrange daily transport with the hotel, or we can arrange it for you at no extra service fee.

For all Bayfront locations, check-in is 2:00 PM and check-out is 12:00 NN. These are non-smoking hotels. While the room quality is similar, each location has its own features.

This Capitol location is close to Cebu’s uptown area and the Provincial Capitol building, with quick access to major hospitals, lifestyle shopping, and business districts—great for both business and leisure.

Staying in ETHOS housing makes a lot of sense. Students are very close to school—most will only need to walk a couple of minutes to reach the entrance—so it’s easy to be on time. Staying outside can mean daily traffic that takes an hour or more each way; over time that’s frustrating and expensive, so ETHOS housing is worth considering.

Daily room rates include:

Comments from our students:

“It was so much fun and I’m glad I chose Ethos. My pronunciation has greatly improved and I made a lot of Filipino friends. With the study abroad plan I can work in a hotel in Australia and I think it is fascinating. I had fun when I went out to eat BBQ with the teachers and students and it tastes good. I enjoyed talking about various things. I got to eat chocolate cake when there is a celebration or everyone’s birthday. I was very happy when I passed the interview for working holiday and we celebrated.” - M Shimakawa (Japan - studying English)

“I used Google maps and analyzed all English schools in Cebu. ETHOS had English native speakers, English culture and traditions, perfect studying conditions, American pronunciation, safe area, two big malls nearby, common meetings. I am totally satisfied. Pronunciation and reading lessons were more than I expected. I improved my writing. The Bible elective classes were high level and I regret that I didn’t attend them more often. I stayed in the dorm and it was the best one that I have ever stayed at. Modern, clean, and fully packed, comfortable two floor house with any item you might need just a minute from the school. What could be better? Perfect 100%.” - O Davidova (Russia - studying English)

“I enjoyed talking with my teachers’ every day and went on a trip with everyone. It’s cheaper than going to America since American teachers can teach you English. It was so much fun and the day ended too soon!” - R Hashino (Japan - studying English)

“A friend introduced me to ETHOS. I chose this school because it’s all American. The learning atmosphere at ETHOS is very good. The students are very well taken care of by ETHOS. I felt good, they took good care of me. I liked the Home Stay feeling very much.” - J Tsai (Taiwan - studying English)

“When I searched the internet for studying abroad in Cebu, I found a blog and found out about Ethos. I was able to learn English from native speakers, I had Home Stay housing in an American teacher’s home. I was able to talk to a native speaker every day, which really helped me learn a lot. I had an experience I will never forget. I’m really glad I came. Thank you very much.” - S Endo (Japan - studying English)

“It was really fun to be taught by Americans and being able to Home Stay in an American home. The teachers and Filipino staff were friendly and the overseas students who came were all serious and kind, so I felt like we had been together for a long time even though I only had two weeks.” - Y Sato (Japan - studyng English)

“The teachers really taught me thoroughly so I tried hard and did my best. I was able to go out to eat a lot with my fellow overseas students. I had a lot of fun with the American teachers’ kids and I enjoyed spending time with my neighbors.” - S Tamura (Japan - studying English)

“Actually, I really wanted to go to America but if I didn’t have the money and could study with Americans in Cebu, I thought it would be okay to go to Cebu without going to America. It was really fun! I’m really glad I made it to Ethos. I’m very happy that the teachers treated me as their own family. The daily lessons were very fun that four months passed by just like that.” - Y Okamura (Japan - studying English)

“I worried about the peace and order of the Philippines. Could I make it through graduation with my English knowledge? I had Home Stay and I enjoyed every day. It was a very fun 13 weeks! And I was able to make a lot of good memories with the intern. We always had fun every day!” - M Fujimoto (Japan - studying English)
