Home Stay

At Advantage E J English School, we are committed to providing the best home stay experience possible for our students as they study English and enjoy Whistler Life. All of our home stay families are carefully chosen and have established rapport within the community so students can feel at home and worry-free for the duration of of their stay.

Everyone is Welcome…

Through our homestay program, you will learn English through natural integration and will be able to experience real Canadian living. Fully immerse yourself in your studies in class then reinforce what you have learned the natural way–by being part of a Canadian family. Our host families are friendly, helpful and eager to welcome you into their homes. Experience the true north lifestyle and take with you fond memories of Whistler wherever you go.

In addition to daily activities, one of the most important aspects of a home stay experience is the time spent chatting to your host family at mealtime. In this regard, it is important to preplan your daily schedule and depending on your preferences, you have the options of 1-3 meals per day.

* Students should let us know as soon as possible if they wish to do a home stay, as space is limited.

The following Facilities are included:

- Wireless Internet
- Phone
- TV/VCR
- Washer/Dryer
