Homestay Program

Staying with a Canadian family offers you many unique advantages to enrich your experiences abroad.

ELS Language Centers' Homestay Program places its emphasis on careful selection of appropriate accommodations. That does not simply mean finding a comfortable place to stay, but also finding sincere, caring families who take a genuine interest in the well-being and learning experience of their guest.

Homestay students have a private, furnished bedroom, containing a small study area. They receive three meals a day (including a packed lunch for school), and share the household laundry facilities and bathrooms. Students will be welcomed into their new home anytime during the weekend immediately before their first study session begins, and are not expected to leave until the Sunday after classes finish. English is spoken at all times in the homestay.

"I'll never forget my host family, who became my family when I was there. They gave me their love and I'm still in touch with them. They are going to come to my wedding in September. I am really excited!"

The Homestay Advantage!
Your homestay family will immediately become a source of support, helping you adapt to and enjoy your new environment. You'll also be exposed to cultural life with a North American family and you'll see how different daily life is from that in your home country. Best of all, your homestay family will want to show off their city to you and, with the insider's view, you'll get to see sights that even the guidebooks don't know about!
