Hosting a Student<\/h1><\/div>

West Vancouver Schools\u2019 reputation for excellence in teaching has attracted international students since 1982. We place students with carefully selected hosts to support student well-being, independence, and respectful day-to-day living while studying in the district.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hosting is a unique opportunity to learn about different cultures while sharing your own. As a host, you play an important role in supporting a student’s educational journey, personal growth, and cultural experience in Canada.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Host Accommodations may be traditional or non-traditional, with one or two adults, working or retired, with children or without. Our hosts are caring, reliable, and committed to providing a welcoming, respectful, and structured home environment where students can thrive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
