Homestay

Homestay Delaware is the only housing option that allows international students the opportunity to live in an American home while studying at the English Language Institute. Homestay services are through a local provider.

Through daily involvement with their hosts, students have the advantage of practicing casual conversation in English and gain valuable exposure to an American lifestyle.

This is the perfect way to dramatically improve your English language skills while living in a safe, comfortable environment.

Our homestay hosts have been carefully selected based on their desire to learn about your culture as well as to help you learn about and be involved in the American way of life; many families have been a part of our program for years.

Because every family is unique, each student’s experience will be special, giving you the chance to create lasting memories.
