FAQS
Common questions
How is the student chosen for my home?
We always match students with care! Each student completes a detailed questionnaire about their personality, preferences, and routines. We then match them with a family whose lifestyle fits best.
Once I enroll, do I always have to be available?
Not at all. You’ll always receive a detailed student profile first — and you decide if you’d like to host that particular student or wait for another.
Do I have to accept students of all genders and ages?
Nope! You can let us know your preferences — girls, boys, or both, and the age range you feel most comfortable with.
How long do students usually stay?
It varies! Some students stay for 4–6 weeks, others for a full semester or school year. We’ll let you know in advance.
What if my children don’t speak other languages?
No problem! This is a chance for your family to learn — and many students are eager to practice their English or French. It’s a great cultural win-win!
