For over a decade, IPERC has built an extensive homestay network of over 500 host families to ensure that we match every student with their ideal host family.

Host Family Management​

One of the most important factors influencing a student’s experience at a North American high school is their host family. Hosts families do so much more than provide a place to live. They can be part of a life-changing experience for both the student and the family. Students usually become lifelong friends with their host families after living together. With over ten years of experience placing students in host families that can help them thrive, IPERC has mastered the skill of matching families and students. Safe, loving, and supportive families are waiting for all of our homestay students.

Academic and Psychological Support for Students

For teens, adjusting to a new environment is difficult. Feeling lonely and homesick is an inevitable part of studying abroad. At IPERC, our experienced staff members connect students with social, psychological, and academic support to make their high school life easier, one day at a time. ​
