Homestay Program
LINFIELD HOMESTAY PROGRAM
We are proud to introduce our new Host Family Program at Linfield Christian School. Our international students are now afforded the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of living with members of the Linfield community, including faculty, staff and current student families. Our focus will center on student safety, academic success, student/host family compatibility, English acquisition, American cultural exposure, as well as providing a Christ‐centered environment. All of our host families are carefully selected and screened through an extensive application process.*
