Lyndale Secondary College has a number of families who want to host international students in their homes. We match students to the sort of families they request. We have many different sorts of families, but one thing about them is the same – they are all kind and friendly.

Host Family Quality Assurance

• All families complete a government criminal history check to ensure the safety of our guests

• All homes are inspected to ensure cleanliness and appropriate furnishings and facilities are in the environment

• Families complete an orientation program to ensure cultural awareness of new students

• Host family social activities are organized for all guests

• We conduct ongoing quarterly reviews of the hosting experience by both family and guest

Our Host Families have lovely homes!

• Some families live close to school.

• Many homes have pools and most homes have computers and internet.

Student Rooms
