Accommodation
A homestay with a Canadian Family can be an enriching cultural experience and is an important component of our program. Canadian families share their homes with students and students participate in the everyday activities of their host family. This is an excellent opportunity for students to improve their English and to establish many close friendships.
West Vancouver School District has many fine homes and families interested in hosting our International Students. The way to make the most of your Canadian living experience is to come with an open mind. Come prepared to participate in family life and share in the responsibilities of being a family member. The homestay experience you will have will largely depend on you and your attitude and your friendliness.
