Homestay families are chosen based upon their desire to host a visiting student and their ability to provide a safe, comfortable home environment and a positive cultural experience for their new family member.
Students are matched with Homestay families based on common interests and activities. Because a student’s well-being is the foremost priority of the Lester B. Pearson School Board, Homestay families are carefully screened. Police screening is mandatory for all host familiy candidates and all members (of legal age) of the family.
Each family is interviewed in the home and is chosen for its ability and desire to welcome a young person. A Homestay family provides care and guidance as well as room and board for the student.
The families are diverse. They may have children of any age, not necessarily teenagers, or they may not have children at all. There may be other relatives living in the home. They will have one feature in common - a desire to welcome an international student into their home and to treat him/her as a member of the family.
Homestay families welcome their new "son" or "daughter" in all day-to-day activities. They offer guidance, helping international students to adjust throughout their stay and helping them to understand life in Canada. Above all, they will want to welcome them as a member of their family. They agree to take a young person from another country into their home and teach him or her about their own culture and language.
