Language School

The Language School hosted 16 Danish and German students in April, 2007 and in April 2009.  We arranged for these students to stay in Vanier students’ homes while they were here and the Vanier Homestay program was born! 

The Language School would like to offer you the opportunity to participate in this amazing program once again in April 2012. Contact Chris Hall for details: hallc@vaniercollege.qc.ca

We experienced how rewarding Homestay can be. Our guests and our families were thrilled with their experience:

STUDENT COMMENTS

“My family was perfect: patient, perfect food, showed things and places.”

“I wish that we could have spent more time with our family.”

HOST FAMILY COMMENTS

“I hope that you will accept a student in your home.  It is a good experience, a good way for your children to meet people from abroad.”

“I liked the way the students made themselves right at home!  It was great sharing cultures over meals and all the students were so polite.”

"Overall, the one month experience was positive and fun. Our student was delightful, and we enjoyed having her as part of our family. It was interesting to discover different perspectives on everyday things. Definitely worth the effort.”

DETAILS

Homestay families will receive $800.00 per student they host. (families, generally, may only host one student)

Homestay families must be able to offer the student their own bedroom and be prepared to provide meals for their guests. However, homestay families are not expected to cook every meal -- simply make food available (as they would with their own family)

The Homestay package contains details about what to expect and what the students can expect as well.
