The Calgary Board of Education is seeking enthusiastic, outgoing families who are interested in welcoming international students into their family life. We would like to talk to you if:

• you have an extra bedroom;
• you have a clean police record (everyone over 16 in the house);
• you have time for a new member of your “family” (eg., are home for dinner and have free weekends);
• English is the primary language spoken in your home.

We have a wide variety of hosting situations available year round. You can choose from short term and/or long term placements and/or adult or high school aged students.

If you are interested, please complete the Host Family Application Package and submit to the International Bureau.
