The LI Homestay Department visits and interviews each host family that accommodates our students. To ensure that our students' stay is as pleasant as possible, students are asked to complete a Homestay Evaluation Form during their stay. The Homestay Coordinator is always available to discuss any issues or difficulties with students.

With our students cooperation, we can maintain the excellence of our accommodation. Our homestay families enjoy sharing their Canadian culture with a visiting student. Families can mean different things - married couples with 3 children, young couples with no children, single people who live alone, or single people with children.

Homestays may be between 30 - 50 minutes away from the school; students travel from home to LI by foot, subway, bus or streetcar. There are many advantages of staying with a homestay family: a great opportunity to speak and listen to English in a natural environment, a safe and secure environment to live in, and total immersion in Canadian culture.In a homestay, students become part of the family. Breakfast and dinner are shared with the family, and the student is encouraged to join in any family activities.
