Our Host Family Officer takes great care in selecting host families. In each case we try to match all the students' requirements with the family profile. As the only school in the area using host families we can be selective and use only those families who we consider to be most suitable.

All our students receive a warm welcome and a friendly environment in which to live and study Naturally, it is not the same as living at home so students will have to adapt. They will be expected to live as one of the family, and this will sometimes involve helping the family in the house, doing simple things like keeping their bedroom tidy, setting the table or clearing away the dishes after a meal.

Many students really do become 'one of the family' and keep in touch with their host families for many years after their stay

All meals, except where lunch is provided at the school are taken with the host family.
