The goal of the Family Boarding Homestay Program is to provide a welcoming, safe, supportive, English-speaking, family environment for students from other countries in Grades 8 to 12 by arranging for them to live with GNS families; either current parents or staff.
A Home Away from Home
A great Family Boarding homestay environment is a home away from home for the student. Living far away from your family and friends can be difficult and lonely. Family Boarding host families are expected to care and nurture their student, much like they would their own children, thus contributing to the his/her success improving their English language skills, understanding of other cultures, and the overall experience studying at GNS and living in Canada.
