Choosing the right homestay family for you
SUL takes the greatest care to select the right homestay families to look after our young learners.
- We conduct personal interviews and also make all legal checks before accepting a family. We recheck all home stay families annually.
- SUL keeps in close contact with the family both before and during the student's stay.
- We match the family to the interests, age and abilities of the young learner so the more information you give us the better. SUL then offers the family placement to the student before the final decision is taken.
- We keep in contact with the host family and the student to make sure both are happy with the placement. As a result, we achieve a very high level of success with this course.
- The homestay experience is such a special relationship that friendships often grow and continue for years afterwards.
- For all our Young Learners we arrange for our host family or Local Organiser to arrange an airport transfer service.
