Study Abroad VTE offers staying with a host family while on a teenager study abroad program. You will have three meals a day and a single or double room depending on the destination. The host families are always subject to a rigorous selection by the language school and we favor the families that have been appreciated by their and our former clients. You are consequently guaranteed of quality lodging in a pleasant atmosphere.

How are the host families chosen?
Host families are enrolled by the school’s lodging responsible. They have to fill in the formal questionnaires and be evaluated by the means of an interview conducted inside their home. Each family commits itself to welcoming students warmly in a pleasant environment.

Proximity of the house to the language school or easy access to mass transportation is one of the criteria for selection.

What’s more, thanks to our past students’ evaluations and commentaries, we have created a directory of the best host families. It allows us to always offer the highest lodging quality to our clients.

How is determined the pairing?
When you book a study abroad program, you will have to fill in a form and answer some questions for the selection of your host family. Your answers will give us precious information on how to choose your family: allergies, health issues, smoking or non smoking, children, pets, etc.

Afterwards, we will transmit this information to the school so that they can select an appropriate family, one sharing the most affinities with you. An open mind remains necessary for the smoothest adaptation to this new environment.

We usually receive the details about the host family approximately two weeks before departure.
