Living with a Canadian family with similar interests to yours is a great way to practise your English.
The Calgary Board of Education has located excellent host families in the City of Calgary. Our process for admitting host families into the Calgary Board of Education homestay program is a rigorous one. All families:
Have had a thorough interview to determine suitability
Have had a homestay inspection
Passed a police record check
Are enthusiastic to receive international students
From your homestay family you will learn about Canadian life. You will participate in activities with them, have typical Canadian meals and become part of a Canadian family. In addition, supervision and support are provided by our Homestay Coordinator throughout the program.
