Homestay in Santiago de Chile
Living with a host family in a single or double room, with half or full board, is the primary housing option in Santiago de Chile.

Our standards for choosing host families are equally high in every country; but in Latin America, you may find yourself more intimately included in the family as many of our programs are situated in smaller towns.

Host families in Santiago de Chile generally come from a middle class background and may adhere to a simpler way of life than the student is used to. This provides the student a wonderful opportunity for getting to know the culture and customs of the region in a warm, caring, close-knit environment.

The school in Santiago de Chile has cumulated years of suggestions to make your home stay as pleasant as possible.
