Aberdeen Hall Family Boarding
Comprehensive Homestay

A safe and supportive home environment is the foundation of a successful international student experience. At Aberdeen Hall, our exceptional Family Boarding program offers just that—carefully selected host families provide a welcoming and nurturing home where students can experience Canadian family life, develop life skills, and feel a true sense of belonging.

Managed directly by Aberdeen Hall, this program is more than just accommodation—it’s a meaningful part of a student’s educational journey. Homestay life fosters independence, confidence, and cultural connection, while also offering the warmth and consistency of family support.

We’re proud to share a short video (in Mandarin and in English) that captures the heart of our program - featuring a beautiful reunion 11 years after graduation, with students from England, Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Japan coming together in Canada to celebrate a wedding, enjoy a BBQ with their former homestay family, and reflect on lifelong friendships formed through Aberdeen Hall’s Family Boarding experience.

This story is a powerful reminder that homestay isn’t just about where you live - it’s about the people who shape your journey.

Host Families 

We welcome applications from within the Aberdeen Hall community—including faculty, staff, current families, and alumni families—to host international students in Grades 8 through 12.

Hosting offers an incredible opportunity to share culture, build lasting connections, and make a difference in a young person’s life. Host families provide:

• A private bedroom

All hosts undergo a thorough screening process and follow BC’s Homestay Guidelines to ensure the highest standard of care.
