Homestay with an American family

A Homestay is a great way to experience American culture while improving your English ability!   All of our centers offer homestay accommodation with American families individually selected by FLS.
 
With your host family, you’ll learn about American daily life, practice English on a regular basis and participate in many aspects of American culture that visitors often don’t get to see.
 
Homestays are the perfect place for trying out new English skills and adjusting to life in America in a friendly, helpful environment.  Many of our students make American friends they keep in touch with long after their English program is over.
 
FLS Host Families are carefully chosen from safe and attractive neighborhoods near the FLS centers.  Our housing staff visits and interviews each family and insures that the family provides a clean, welcoming home environment for students.
 
Many of our families have hosted for years and have welcomed students from many countries.  Our families understand the special needs of international students and our housing staff is available for your assistance if questions arise during your stay.

To insure the best match with your new host family, we strongly recommend that you complete the FLS Homestay Application as a part of your application process.

What Host Families are saying

The Gonzalez Family: meeting new friends, learning new cultures

Meeting new friends, learning new cultures and bringing our family closer are just some of the benefits we have experienced as a host family...

Meeting new friends, learning new cultures and bringing our family closer are just some of the benefits we have experienced as a host family. The excitement of the first meeting of your homestay student never gets old. The feeling of discovery that is part of introducing family, home and community is always exhilarating.

Family dinners become more consistent, more valued and a special time to share the days’ memories. The humor and laughter that is part of sharing new cultural behaviors is pure joy.

Our family has really learned to appreciate what we have as a family.We have also learned how to make room for others to feel like a part of us. We are learning and receiving as much as we are teaching and sharing. We feel blessed to be part of what has been a wonderful relationship between our family and the FLS program. We would highly recommend being a host family for anyone who has an interest and an openness in learning, growing and sharing.

Your friendly Hosts,
The Gonzalez Family
