Dedicated Homestay Accommodation Program
For our international scholars, Toronto High School offers a comprehensive and supportive Homestay Accommodation Program, designed to ensure a safe, nurturing, and culturally enriching living environment upon arrival in Canada. Recognizing that a stable and welcoming home is critical to academic success, our program provides a highly curated placement service that integrates students into reputable local family settings. This service is particularly vital for students navigating a new country and academic system for the first time.
The Homestay Program offers students a private living arrangement that includes all essential amenities and is structured to foster academic concentration and cultural exchange. The standard monthly fee for this essential service is $1,800, which guarantees a private room and includes the provision of three (3) meals per day. Key benefits of the program include:
- Cultural Immersion: Living with a Canadian family provides an unparalleled opportunity for rapid English language acquisition and authentic exposure to Canadian culture and customs.
- Safety and Support: All host families undergo a rigorous selection process, including background checks and home inspections, to ensure a secure and supportive atmosphere.
- Convenience: Placements are carefully considered to ensure reasonable proximity to the school’s academic or transit locations, minimizing commute times and facilitating access to all academic resources, whether at our Markham location or a local campus for supervised exams.
Students interested in this essential service should indicate their request during the application phase. Our international support staff work diligently to match students with a suitable host family, thereby facilitating a seamless transition into the Toronto community and a strong start to their academic career at Toronto High School.
