Homestay Families

Bridging cultures and connecting worlds!

Host an international student 3, 5, or 10 months and provide a unique chance for your family to grow, learn, and explore a new culture. Your international student will attend one of our local high schools, participate in extracurricular activities, and experience firsthand the richness of our culture – all while experiencing life with your family.

As a homestay family, you’ll be given guidance and support throughout the process, as well as financial support during your student’s stay. You’ll help your student feel at home, offering a welcoming environment where they can thrive academically and personally.

Beyond daily life, you’ll have the chance to explore our community together. From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, your family and your student will embark on exciting adventures, discovering the beauty of our surroundings while also sharing in cultural celebrations.

Start your journey today and make a lasting impact on a student’s life, while enriching your own!

“It was breathtaking seeing someone else’s view of your country!”

When Gioia first arrived in Canada, we decided to bring her to Toronto and Niagara Falls the first weekend as this is where we are originally from. Our first stop was downtown Toronto. Watching the amazement in Gioia’s eyes was beautiful, she had never seen anything like it. The billboards are 30-50 feet tall surrounding the square.  The following day, we went to Niagara Falls and again her reaction was wonderful! It was breathtaking seeing someone else’s view of your country.

Pictured above is our homestay family the Tissaaratchy’s, along with their international student, Gioia, from Germany.
