Homestay Program
The Interlake School Division has a list of local families
that have been screened and are enthusiastic about hosting international
students. All homestay families undergo a criminal record check and
child abuse background check to ensure safety of international students.
Homestay families will provide students with a healthy, safe home
environment where students can practice and develop their English
skills.
The International Student Program works hard to ensure
that international students are placed with families that best match the
needs of the students including proximity to school placement, dietary
needs, pets, and siblings.
