Host an international student with EF

Our students travel with us to improve their English and to learn about your culture and way of life. There are many wonderful things that come out of hosting a student.

The world leader in international education

We are thrilled that you want to learn more about the EF Homestay experience on the Isle of Wight. No matter what point you are at in your life, hosting is extremely rewarding. Whether a family of five, “empty nesters”, a retired individual or a single adult – hosting international students provides the experience of a lifetime. It’s an opportunity to make lifelong friendships, and for both grown-ups and kids to experience a new culture.

“When I open the door I say welcome to my home and I give them a hug. I say to the students you can talk to me about any problems. I’m a mum away from home.” Christine Gordon
