Home-stay for International Students

Quinte Christian High School does not board students. We assist the international families in locating a home-stay family for their high school student in the Quinte region. The home-stay family serves as the contact between the student and the school. An initial interview will be arranged for the student and the home-stay family so that they can decide if this is the right home for the student. This will happen before the student makes the decision to commit to the home-stay family. QCHS discourages students from changing home-stay families during the school year. Although the school will do its best to place the student in a suitable home-stay family, we cannot guarantee a successful placement. If the home stay family is not working out for either party, the school will help to find a new home-stay family for the student at the start of the following semester. The cost of room and board for a home-stay student is comparable to what the other school boards charge in the Quinte area.
