Homestays with SJA Vancouver

About our Homestay Program

At St. John's Academy, we collaborate with Vancouver Central Homestay (VCH). Below is a list of the homestay services that VCH provides. It is expected that all students of St. John's Academy are guided by our core values and behaviour policy while they are off campus and in homestays.

Vancouver Central Homestay is a 100% Canadian-made team with more than 15 years’ experience in Vancouver homestay. We have hosted students from more than 35 countries. We love welcoming international students to our great city. So we decided to launch our own homestay facility.

​

Vancouver Central Homestay gives international students the opportunity to live with Canadian families while they complete their education, work experience or travel. At the same time, homestay gives host families the unique opportunity to welcome new people and cultures into their homes while providing a safe and convenient place to live, helping students develop their English language skills and adapt to the Canadian lifestyle.  We have placed thousands of students in homestay over the years enriching the lives of both students and our host families in our great City.
