The Director International Student Program maintains strict oversight of the Hillcrest Christian College Homestay Program. Homestay families are carefully screened and selected based on their ability to provide a caring and supportive home environment.

In most cases, homestay families are existing members of the Hillcrest community.

Homestay parents must be the holder of a current “Suitability for working with Children Card” commonly known as a “Blue Card”.   Homestay families provide students with their own comfortable room; a private and well-lit area to study; all meals; and, transport to and from school.
