Host families

All of our host families are selected personally by Andrew Basquille, Director of Language and Leisure. Many of them have been hosting students for us for over 10 years; they know how important it is to provide students a home away from home and take their responsibility very seriously.

Our families host students because they have a genuine interest in people and they love to talk and to learn about other cultures. They regard the experience of meeting foreign people as important for their own children.  Read more about host families >>
