American Family Homestay
American Family Homestay
IEP runs its own Homestay Family Program. Families are carefully selected through a rigorous screening process; they must attend a comprehensive orientation session and are regularly evaluated by the students.
All participating families must provide room, three meals per day, and transportation to and from school during weekday classes and on weekends for IEP sponsored activities.
In the Homestay Family Program, students have the opportunity to learn about and experience first-hand American culture, learn English outside the classroom and develop long-lasting friendships.
The Homestay Family Program is available year-round.
