Host Families

We believe that the quality of our host families is what seperates CHE from other organisations offering similar services.  We do not see our host families as simply a cheap B&B option, they are integral to the success of our programmes.  Many of our host families and students have gone on to become life-long friends.

Our host families come from many backgrounds and are all interviewed and vetted by our local Group Coordinators prior to hosting.  Our Group Coordinators may also visit the host families during a guest’s stay to ensure everything is going smoothly.

All host families are expected to welcome their guest into their home as one of the family, eating meals together and including them in family activities.  If the host family have their own son or daughter often the visiting guest would be involved in some of their activities with friends.

The basic requirements: a bed in own bedroom, with adequate lighting, work and storage space.  In addition to breakfast and dinner, a packed lunch should also be provided every day by the host family.

As well as meeting and dropping off students at the first day arrival and last day departure point, host families must take their students to the study centre on the first day in school to show them the way.
