At NZH, we hold our hosts to the highest standards. Hosts are expected to welcome a student warmly into their home and help them become familiar with the New Zealand lifestyle so they are successful during their time in our program. NZH host families must speak clear and correct English and are expected to provide students with:
- a clean, comfortable private bedroom with place to study
- nutritious meals according to the student’s chosen meal plan
- inclusion in host activities based on student interest
- internet access
- access to public transportation
Our approval process includes an interview and house inspection. All residents over the age of 18 must undergo safety checks including police vetting. The primary host (residential caregiver) will also need to provide details for a referee so we can conduct a reference check. Our approval process includes an interview and house inspection. They also need to sign our Homestay Carer Agreement when hosting under 18 students, acknowledging the extra support and care required to cater for younger students.
