Hosting students & finding the perfect match
We want every host student and every family hosting foreign students to be fully satisfied with their homestay arrangement, and we work hard to find the perfect match for both student and host. Our Accommodation Officer will keep in close contact with you regarding availability of students, and we’ll do our best to accommodate any special requests. Hosting students can be a new experience to many families and our Accommodation Officers are always ready to support you.
Hosting students and your responsibilities
We ask that our families hosting students with us provide each student with:
-A warm and friendly welcome. A clean, comfortable, well-lit room, with sufficient heating, ventilation, natural light, storage for clothes and use of a table or desk.
-Bed linen and towels which should be cleaned by the homestay provider on a weekly basis.
-Regular access to the bathroom as per a member of your family. A key or access to your home at any time.
For our younger students, assistance to find his/her way to school on their first day.
