Key Considerations 

What does my family need to do?

Your family should be able to provide:

• Food - 3 meals per day plus snacks for the student in your home
•  Accommodation - A furnished, private bedroom with a study desk and lamp
• Facilities - internet, bathroom (private or shared), laundry and access to communal areas
• Care - washing, ironing, transport to and from the College, security and safety.
• Compassion - time to support students, interest in cultural exchange, guidance in navigating the local area and help as they learn English 

Who and How Long?

Students come from a variety of countries and cultures. They range in age from 12 to 18 years old.  Students will have a basic level of English.  Students can stay for as little as 2 months to a year or longer.  You can host a student for all or part of the time.

Can I host short-term students?

Yes, you can. Ask us for more information about our study tour groups. Student in these groups stay from one week to a maximum of one term. 

Reimbursement

Host families will receive a generous remuneration for hosting international students. This money is paid in arrears once per month. More information is available upon completion of the Expression of Interest form.
