EF Homestay

Living in a private home offers a warm and secure way to immerse yourself in the daily life of your new country for the ultimate cultural exchange. You’ll enrich your understanding of local culture and customs, pick up expressions and slang with greater ease, and your accent will sound more authentic. Our homestay programme boasts a strong network of reliable local families and many have hosted EF students for a number of years. Every homestay host is carefully screened and interviewed in their homes by our experienced accommodation staff, and then regularly visited and monitored to ensure high standards. Available at all EF school locations.
