EF Educational Homestay
Education First’s Educational Homestay program places students from different countries into loving, caring homes in the Santa Clarita Valley. These students experience daily life in a country different from their own. Families in the Santa Clarita Valley have hosted students from France, Spain, Germany, China, and Hong Kong. The Educational Homestay program supports and promotes cross-cultural exchange. Both families and participants benefit from sharing their language and culture.
Every summer, Santa Clarita families are urgently needed to meet the demand of students looking to stay in the United States through the Educational Homestay program. Families with Educational Homestay provide room and board, as well as a stable, caring environment for students to fully experience cultural immersion in another country. Educational Homestay compensates host families, and encourages them to attend student excursions to the beach, amusement parks, and museum facilitated by the program.

The educational activities are part of EF’s personalized learning courses. These courses serve to familiarize students with local customs, and help them advance their language skills.
