In order to be successful in school, students need a caring, comfortable home. The homestay program brings students and families together.
Families welcome students into their homes; provide a friendly, nurturing and supportive environment to live and learn; encourage and take an interest in the student’s life and schoolwork; and share their lifestyle and culture with others.
The homestay coordinator interviews host families in their home and ensures they have a background check. The homestay coordinator also monitors students throughout their stay and provides support to both students and host families.
Homestay offers an excellent way for international students to learn about the customs and culture of Canada. It also provides a great environment for students to improve their English.
Students are placed in a safe, secure and stable home, with a private bedroom and access to all of the amenities. It is a wonderful home-away-from-home experience.
