Canadian Homestay ExperienceOur homestay program is run by the school district, not a private business, so school district staff are committed to providing a safe, quality homestay for each visiting student. All homestay families have been screened with a criminal record check and have been inspected to ensure high quality, safe, and welcoming environments.

Students are provided with:> A private bedroom, including: comfortable bed, study table, and lamp> Bathroom and laundry facilities> Three full meals a day and snacks> Airport pick up and drop off

International students will submit the homestay profile page, which allows them to list specific requirements of a homestay family. Once a family is selected, we will email a profile with pictures and contact numbers/email address so that new students will have more information about their host family and will be able to make initial contact prior to arrival.

Homestay coordinators work closely with families, students, and school coordinators to ensure that students receive consistent care through clear communication among all support providers.
