Concorde International is recruiting families / hosts who are interested in hosting foreign students throughout the year.
Our international students come to the UK for a full immersion experience, and by hosting foreign students with us you become an essential part of their programme. Students choose to stay with a host family because of the cultural experience provided – simple day-to-day conversations over dinner, shopping trips and of course your own family and friends who visit, all provide additional learning and cultural insights.
Our hosts are from a variety of backgrounds – local families, young couples, retirees, professionals and parents with children who have recently left home.
We welcome students throughout the year and are looking for welcoming hosts to accommodate juniors or adults.
