Hosting is a wonderful way to learn about another country without ever leaving home!

And it is so much more than that. You can contribute to international good will and you will grow and learn as you compare lifestyles and exchange ideas. Having an exchange student living with you is lots of fun.

Many of our hosts tell us the main reason they provide accommodation for students is because they spend more time together as they show their student our lifestyle.

If your student comes from a non-English speaking country, you will learn a few words of their language as they perfect their English.

Home stay providers come in all shapes and sizes.

We have single parents and traditional families; families with young children; no children, teenage children and children who are adult and no longer live at home. What all our hosts have in common is the willingness to welcome students into their home and offer them a warm, caring supportive environment.

All hosts must take part in a screening process to prove their suitability. This consists of a personal interview in your home with one of our co-ordinators and also providing referees. Hosts must live in the Brighton and Hove area, preferably in walking distance to our school or a short bus ride away. (Typically 15 to 20 minutes by bus).
