Host Families
All host families are chosen carefully by EDEX. The most important criteria for us is the mother. Over many years we have found that if she is okay then all else will fit into place.
In the case of day pupils the agency will be given family details for a student not later than 10 days before their arrival.
Families are given a set of guidelines to ensure that they know our requirements. The family must be able to offer the student their own room. This must be warm and have a desk for studying at.
Accommodation with families is full board. Monday-Friday students get breakfast, packed lunch and dinner. The family also do the laundry for the student.
The host families can have children of various ages. We feel it is not essential that there is someone the same age as the student in the house as there are no guarantees that they will be friends.
For boarding school students we usually place several in a family on the free weekends.
