Become a Host Family

We carefully select homestay families who are kind, friendly and enjoy meeting students from around the world. Host families will help students become comfortable in their new community. 

Build Lasting Connections

Many homestay families have been hosting international students for more than a dozen years. Deep and lasting connections often develop— and some host parents have even been invited to their former students’ weddings. 

If you are interested in joining our homestay program and hosting international students, please contact the international student services coordinator to find out about the application procedure and submit a completed host family application form and criminal record check. 

Application Forms

The first step to hosting a student is filling out an application form!
