Many students are keen to experience the New Zealand lifestyle while they are studying with us, and homestay accommodation offers an excellent opportunity to do so. AIS has an extensive list of carefully selected and approved homestay families to choose from and can arrange placement for students who wish to live in a family environment. Homestay students also benefit from the opportunity to practice their English.
Homestays can be organised prior to arrival in New Zealand, although some students chose another form of accommodation when they first arrive and later decide to move into a homestay. In either instance, two weeks’ notice is required to arrange homestay accommodation.
Homestay rates cover accommodation and two meals (breakfast and dinner) per weekday, and three meals during weekends and on public holidays. A member of the homestay family is required to escort their student to and from AIS on their first day of study.
Homestay payments are paid by AIS on behalf of the student.
Do you want to be a homestay provider?
Many New Zealand families welcome the opportunity to have international students living with them.
