Being a part of a homestay family is an enriching experience for an International student. Overall, a student’s whole educational experience is enhanced. Students quickly grow in their English communication skills and learn about American family culture. Supportive families are there to help students navigate the cultural differences they see in everyday life. Students also make special friendships that are long-lasting.

At New Vision International School, students may be a part of the homestay program if they are 7 and older.

The goal of our homestay program is to place students with a caring, Christian family where they will be nurtured physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. Our homestay families are excited to welcome students into their home and learn about God’s global community.

All of our host families fill out an application form and are interviewed in their home by the International Director to ensure the home is a safe and caring environment. All placements are made by the International Director who matches students with families based on interests and compatibility.
