Our home-stay program allows students to experienc

Our home-stay program allows students to experience life in the USA in local homes. We match area hosts with international students from all over the world. 🌏 Students eligible to live with a host family are enrolled full time in our Intensive English program anywhere from 4 weeks to 12 months.

💭Think you might like to host?

All you need is to be able to provide a private bedroom, a warm and friendly environment for your student and easy access to the school. It’s important that your home be either within walking or biking distance to ILI, or be on a convenient bus route. 🏠 ILI provides weekly stipends to hosts that are paid every other week.

“The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers & cities; but to know someone who thinks & feels with us, & who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.” – Goethe
