Homestay
Program
At FH International High School, we believe that social integration is essential to the overall success of our students. Therefore, our homestay program is specifically designed to foster self-confidence and cultural integration within the community.
By living with a Canadian family, students not only learn about Canadian culture but also improve their English skills, ensuring a smoother adaptation process.
Homestay Family Selection Process
Students are required to complete the homestay application form at least one month prior to their arrival. Based on the preferences of our students, we carefully match them with appropriate homestay families.
Homestay families undergo a thorough selection process, including multiple interviews and home visits, to ensure that their living conditions meet the high standards of FH International.
If a student is dissatisfied with their homestay placement within the first month and provides a valid reason, we will facilitate a transfer to another homestay family.
Accommodation
Each student is provided with a fully furnished private bedroom. Depending on availability and budget, students may also choose between shared rooms or private washrooms.
Location and Transportation
The majority of our homestay families are located within a 30 to 45-minute bus ride from the school. Depending on availability, students may also require drop-off and pick-up services from their homestay families.
Meals
Homestay families provide three meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner as the standard arrangement. However, students can request fewer meals if their eating preferences require it.
If students have dietary restrictions or allergies, they must inform both the school and their homestay families in advance.
Arrival
Students must inform both the school and their homestay families of their arrival times to ensure that the homestay families and their rooms are prepared. Additionally, students are required to provide their flight details as soon as their tickets are purchased.
Homestay Rules
Each homestay family may have their own house rules. We encourage all students to discuss these rules with their homestay families during the first week of arrival. It is also crucial to address any concerns or questions with the homestay families as soon as they arise. Remember, maintaining a positive attitude and open communication is key to a successful homestay experience, and our homestay families are always there to assist you.
