Accommodations

You’ll have the option to live with a welcoming Kiwi host family or stay in a boarding school. Both provide a safe, supportive environment to make you feel at home.

Living with a host family allows you to experience daily Kiwi life, share meals, and be part of local traditions, creating a true cultural connection. Boarding schools, on the other hand, offer on-campus living with access to facilities, structured routines, and the chance to build lasting friendships with fellow students.

Both accommodation options are carefully selected and regularly monitored to ensure comfort, safety, and support throughout your stay.
