the importance of high-quality host families
Becoming a host family really does make a difference to our group of young people studying at UK boarding schools.
By opening your home, you are creating a nurturing environment where students can thrive. Hosting international boarding school students during their holiday breaks is not only a rewarding experience but can also contribute to a student's personal and academic growth.
enhancing a student's learning journey
Education extends beyond the classroom, and as a host family, you play a crucial role in enhancing a student’s learning journey. By engaging in everyday activities, sharing conversations, and involving them in your traditions, you provide a unique educational experience that textbooks alone cannot offer.
This hands-on learning helps students develop language skills, gain insights into different lifestyles, and build a deeper understanding of the world around them.
a welcoming space for students far from home
For many international students, the holidays away from their parents, can be a challenging time, far from the comfort and familiarity of their homes. Host families provide a welcoming space, offering students a sense of belonging and security during these breaks. Your home becomes a safe haven where they can relax, recharge, and enjoy the warmth of family life, making the transition to a new culture smoother and less daunting.
making a lasting impact
The impact of hosting goes beyond the immediate experience. The relationships you build with students often lead to lifelong connections that span continents and cultures. The memories created, whether through shared meals, local explorations, or holiday celebrations, become cherished moments that leave a lasting imprint on the students’ lives and yours.
