Open your home and heart to an international student!

 The NB International Student Program (NBISP) is seeking host families for visiting international students ages 12-18 for short term stays (2-4 months), one semester, and full school year. Each year, international students choose New Brunswick to  experience our culture, attend school and activities, improve their English, and  establish lifelong friendships.

Delivered in cooperation and support from ASD-W, NBISP provides support to host families, schools and students throughout the year.  Hosts provide students with necessities such as their own bedroom, nutritious meals, and Wi-Fi, but what makes our hosts the BEST is they welcome the student not as a guest, but as a member of the family. A stipend of $750/month is given to families to cover expenses while they are hosting a student.

Our Homestay Coordinators are matching families now for students arriving in September. For information on becoming a host parent, see  www.nbisp.ca or contact Lucy.Rossiter@gnb.ca cell: 506-259-4831 or Julie.O.Brien2@gnb.ca cell: 506-238-1536​
