Homestay Programme: A Community Invitation

Are you interested in making a difference right from your doorstep? Oaklands is proud to introduce our Homestay Programme, a new initiative that brings our academies students and the St Albans community closer together.

A Warm Welcome to Students

In partnership with Hosts International, we’re offering you a chance to host a student and enrich both your family’s and the student’s life.

A Supportive Environment

Our Homestay Programme provides a supportive home environment for our academies students, ensuring they have a safe and comfortable place to stay during their studies. In partnership with Hosts International, we match students with local families, creating a nurturing space that feels like a home away from home.

Your Role in the Community

As a host, you’ll be supporting our mission of education and opening your home to a student in need of a welcoming environment. It’s an opportunity to form lasting connections and share in the educational journey of a young person from another part of the UK.

Benefits for You and Your Family

• Broadened Perspectives: Gain a deeper understanding of a student’s experience and perspective.
• Financial Support: Receive additional income to help with household expenses.
• Educational Exchange: Offer your children a unique learning experience that broadens their horizons.

Get Involved

Joining is easy. We guide you through every step, ensuring a safe and rewarding experience for both you and the student. To become a host or find out more, please contact us at community@oaklands.ac.uk or visit Hosts International.
