HOMESTAY
Canadian homestay programs offer a unique and enriching experience for international students, providing them with a home away from home and the opportunity to immerse themselves in Canadian culture while pursuing their academic goals.
SKY Secondary School does not provide homestay service; however, we can refer our students to trusted providers. Please contact us for further details.
Homestay programs in Canada offer several benefits, both for international students and host families. Here are some key advantages:
CULTURAL IMMERSION
Living with a Canadian host family provides international students with a deep immersion into Canadian culture, customs, and way of life. This experience can enhance their understanding of the local culture and improve their language skills.
SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT
Homestay families typically provide a safe and supportive environment for international students, helping them adjust to their new surroundings and offering guidance and assistance as needed.
COST-EFFECTIVE ACCOMODATION
Homestay can be a more affordable accommodation option compared to renting an apartment or staying in a hotel, especially for short-term stays.
LOCAL INSIGHTS AND SUPPORT
Host families can offer valuable insights into the local community, including information about transportation, amenities, and cultural events. They can also provide emotional support and guidance to students who may be feeling homesick or overwhelmed.
CULINARY EXPERIENCE
Living with a Canadian family allows international students to experience Canadian cuisine firsthand, which can be a delightful and educational experience.
FRIENDSHIP AND NETWORKING
Homestay can lead to lasting friendships between students and their host families, as well as with other members of the local community. These connections can be valuable for networking and personal growth.
