Homestay Program in France (13 to 18 years old)

Description: The homestay program provides an opportunity to become a member of a host family. During the program, the student will share the day-to-day life and special activities of a host family according to the country. Students should be prepared to participate in, and to adapt to, the family life and to help with various tasks around the house. So the more the student will try to learn about their customs, diet and habits, the more rewarding the experience.

The student should be open-minded, mature and curious. He will make new friends, become acquainted with a foreign culture from the inside and make significant progress in learning a foreign language. Most host families are living in small town or in the countryside. Very few families living in city centres welcome exchange students due to the size of their housing.

This exciting immersion program promotes International understanding. It is an excellent opportunity to learn another language and discover another culture. This language improvement comes from constant immersion within a family as well as their friends and relatives. This program is generally four weeks long, however some prolonged or shortened programs can be offered. Each teenager is covered with the health insurance provided by Nacel International.

Please note that participants cannot choose a specific area in a country. Nacel International reserves the possibility to place the student anywhere in the hosting country. Individuals can choose dates all year round.

Highlights: Host family accommodation. Host families come from many walks of life and may live in any part of the country (in a big town, in a small city, in a village or on a farm). Wherever the student's host family lives, there will be wonderful things to discover and absorb. Students can be placed anywhere in the country. The location depends on the host family.

Our aim is to match a student with a host family whose interests and hobbies are almost similar to the student's.

We would recommend that the student is no less than 13 years old. Limited space is available for 18-years-old - the age limit is 19.
