ACCOMMODATION

When you choose to learn English in Canada, the key to your academic success is not just your choice of English school, but the right accommodation too. At Stafford House Calgary we offer all students the opportunity to stay with a Canadian host family in a homestay. This unique experience allows you immerse yourself in the English language and Canadian culture throughout your stay.

Homestay

Staying in a homestay in Calgary allows you to integrate into family life and practise your English language outside the classroom, over dinner and throughout the weekend with your welcoming hosts. This is a unique way to live and study at your chosen destination.

At Stafford House we do all we can to ensure we match you with your perfect homestay. If you wish to truly experience Canadian culture by staying at one of our homestays, please allow us 4 weeks before you arrive at the school to arrange your accommodation to ensure we can find a homestay experience best suited to you.
