SCE has a long running homestay program for both adult and underage students. Homestay offers students the opportunity to live in a safe and caring environment while they can learn the local lifestyle and culture, make friends, and continuously practice and improve their English skills. On the other hand, homestay offers the host family the opportunity to learn about other cultures, act as ambassadors of Sydney, and develop international, long-lasting friendships.
Homestay families can elect to host males only/females only, adults only/kids only, or happy with anyone. Our students study for all different purposes and with different goals so there can be short-term students learning some English while on holidays and also long-term students preparing to move into an Australian high school or tertiary course. Students arrive with varying English levels and come from all different countries and cultural backgrounds.
Joining the SCE Homestay Program offers security in your homestay placements as SCE is an intermediary between students and families, dealing with all bookings, payments, and changes, and helping to mediate any concerns that should arise.
A weekly fee is paid by SCE to cover the student’s stay including all food, utilities, and laundry use.
