Host Family

Always wanted to be part of an American family and experience life in New York? Staying with a host family is the best choice for you.

Students can choose to stay in a single or twin room, on a room only basis, with breakfast only, or with breakfast and dinner included. When staying on a room only basis, you are allowed to use the kitchen and prepare your own meals.

Host families are carefully selected by the language school to ensure quality placements. Host families in Brooklyn can be a couple with children, a retired couple, a single parent, etc. Ethnic diversity is an important aspect of New York’s cultural identity, so some hosts may have a different cultural background, but English is always spoken in the home. 

All of the families are based in Brooklyn, on average 35-40 minutes to Lower Manhattan on public transportation.
