Why Host a Student?

Empower Global Learners with a Meaningful Connection 

A quality curriculum and teacher will go a long way for students, but it takes more than that to create an exceptional learning experience. Students from abroad need a family to stay with that will make them feel safe and secure in welcoming homes. 

Be part of something more.

Our goal is to form a community around our global learners, starting with the family they stay with. Families are a gateway to students learning English and building lasting relationships with their peers. They also introduce students to New Brunswick and help them understand the province’s culture and possibilities. 

A Life-Changing Experience for Students and Families 

By welcoming a student into your home, you are not just helping them with their education but establishing a rewarding lifelong bond. Hundreds of New Brunswick families have welcomed international students into their homes, and they often suggest that the experience is like welcoming a new family member.  

Strengthening Our Schools and Community 

Local students learn a lot from getting to know students from another culture. They become more accepting of differences and gain a better understanding of the world. 

Support Throughout the Residency 

You will not be alone when hosting a new family member. We have resources and guidance ready to support you at every step of the way, including our team of Homestay Coordinators. We also have handbooks and toolkits to have at your fingertips. 

Expense Assistance

A monthly stipend can help you cover expenses when hosting an international student. Don’t let financial worries stop you from experiencing the joy of welcoming a bright, young mind into your home. 

A Thoughtful Matching Process

We understand that finding the right fit for your family is important to maintaining your home dynamic. Our team will consult with you to better understand your lifestyle and match you with a student based on a compatible personality type and needs. Let us help enhance your home life with a student who shares your interests and brings positivity to your household.
