We know that many parents may be apprehensive sending their child
to live in the home of a “complete stranger.”

To put your mind at ease…

Hosts & families are very carefully selected.

All programs have a person, a Lodging Coordinator, who is responsible for finding homestays for students. Finding good homestays is an important part of every program. If a student is not happy in the homestay, he/she many not be happy with the program as well.

All homes are carefully inspected. Feedback is encouraged; students are asked if they are happy where they are. The Coordinator is always available to solve problems when the student is in the program. It the student is not happy in the homestay after a reasonable time to adjust, the homestay will be changed.

You will be provided with information on the host/family before departure. You are welcome to call and speak with them. If there is an e-mail address, you will receive it. You will have a 24-hour emergency number.
