This could be the first step on an exciting journey—and you have come to the right place.

Our students from Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Portugal, Poland, Slovakia, Chile, Argentina, Austria, and France arrive in September, January, or April, staying for between three and ten months. What these brave young people truly need is a caring and supportive family to welcome them into their home.

A Warm Welcome to All Families

Some families come to us having never hosted before. Others may already have hosted with a different organisation or for language schools and are looking for a more personal and supportive experience. We believe you will quickly notice that we do things a little differently.

If you are seeking a change—or considering hosting for the first time—you will find that we truly value our families and are always there when needed.

You are welcome to complete our enquiry form with no obligation. We will call you back or arrange a visit. And if you decide not to host, that is perfectly fine too.
