Host Families Wanted

For Students

Living with a Host Family
Experience everyday life like a local while improving your language skills in a comfortable, supportive home. Staying with a host family helps you discover the culture beyond the classroom, share daily meals and traditions, and build lasting connections that make your time abroad truly memorable.

For Travellers

Stay with a Host Family
Enjoy genuine hospitality and a deeper cultural experience by living with a local family. Whether you’re exploring for a week or a season, you’ll gain insight into local customs, taste home-cooked meals, and feel part of the community—not just a visitor.

Homestay host

International Colleagues School of English in Norwich is looking for host families to welcome its international students near and far.

We have adult students all year round, and junior students in the summer, especially in July and August.

If you are interested in being part of their journey into the English culture and can host a student in the Norwich area, please contact us.

Hosting foreign students is rewarding monetarily too. Please contact the school for more information.
