Homestay & Student Residence Accommodation Options
With the homestay accommodation option, students stay with a Canadian host family and this host family will be their home away from home for the duration of their studies in Toronto. The residence accommodation option is available for students in their senior year of high school who have completed at least one year with a homestay.
Homestay Accommodation
Living with a homestay family is a popular way to host international students in Canada and a great opportunity for students to learn about Canadian culture and practice their English. Typically, host families will include students in family events and activities.
At Keystone, we work with Casa Toronto to provide homestay accommodation for our students. They have served tens of thousands of students from over seventy countries in the last 25+ years. All of our host families are carefully selected to ensure that students can stay in a warm, welcoming, and friendly living environment. All homestay families go through extensive background and police checks to ensure the safety of our students.
Students are provided with a fully-furnished single room and three meals a day. See Tuition & Fees under Admissions to find out more about the fees.
