Become a Host Family

Hosting international students can be a very rewarding experience. You will learn about new cultures, make friends from all around the world and also be able to share our way of living with an eager student.

We are currently looking for new host families in Miami Beach and Toronto.

General Requirements:

• Provide a private room with a bed, a desk, a chair, a closet, window and sufficient lighting (no basement rooms)
• Provide 1, 2 or 3 meals a day per day (breakfast, lunch and dinner), including the weekends
• Spend time with the student so they have the opportunity to improve their speaking skills and learn more about the Canadian culture.
• Provide an English-only speaking environment
• Live within a maximum of 45 minutes from our campuses by public transportation
• Host no more than 3 students at the same time in your home

If you meet these requirements, fill out the application form below and submit it to us. Once we receive it, we will contact you for further information about your house and to set up a visitation.

We would like to think that hosting students is a life experience that will reward your family as well as the life of the student living with you. If you want to broaden your horizons, then being a host family is a great way to see and experience the world from your own house!
