What to Expect

Our Homestay Standards

Every homestay family is personally vetted by our accommodation coordinator. We visit each home before listing it, and we check in with students weekly during their stay.

Background-Checked Families
All host families undergo an Enhanced Access NI check (equivalent to an enhanced DBS). Your safety is our top priority.
Weekly Check-Ins
Our accommodation coordinator visits or calls every student weekly to ensure everything is going well with the host family.
Dietary Requirements Catered For
Vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free, and other dietary needs can be accommodated. Just let us know when you book.
Change of Family Policy
If your homestay isn't working out, we'll find you an alternative immediately. We guarantee a suitable placement for every student.
