Thank you for considering hosting an international student through the Victoria International High School Programs. These are the steps in the application process:
1. Complete and submit the application form.
2. Sign and submit the Declaration form at the end of the application
3. Sign and submit the Homestay Agreement form at the end of the application.
4. Provide two letters of reference, from non-family sources, referring to stability of the home, character of the family, and openness to people from other cultures. You may attach electronic copies at the end of the application.
5. Provide copies of Criminal Records Checks for all residents of the home age 18 or over; or you may submit a letter from an employer or volunteer organization to say that the CRC has been done for their records. You may attach electronic copies at the end of the application, or you may wait and send them in at the time that we offer you a student.
6. Once we have received your application we will invite you to the next Homestay Parent Orientation meeting, held about once a month, in the evening. You will be provided with a Homestay Manual, either in paper or electronic format, and we will review the contents with you.
7. After you have attended an orientation meeting, we will call to book a home visit to meet all of the residents of the home and to view the student accommodations.

Welcome to hosting with the Victoria International High School Programs!
