Host Family Placement

For the High School ExchangeProgram in the Nordic Countries all host family placements are handled by Educatius International partner organization Explorius Education. The host family placement is a very important part of the program and perhaps one of the most important factors for the students well being while in the program country. At Educatius International we are therefore very confident that our partners organization always does its very best to make sure they match every student with a suitable host family.

Host Family Matching and Placement

Explorius Education will match the student with a suitable public high school and screened host family for placement after having received the completed application from the student.

The student application is sent to a local coordinator in an area of the country.

The coordinator secures a school placement for the student and then matches the student with a family in the area.

Explorius Head Office is informed about the placement.

Explorius informs the International Partner about the placement.

Host Family Screening

All host families are screened through the following steps:

Host Family Application Form - much like the student application form.

Home visit and personal interview with the host family members.

Personal reference checks.

Criteria

Educatius International and our partner organization look for families that are practically located for the student to get to school and that have the space needed for hosting a student. We look for families that want to host a student because they want to share their way of life and culture with the student at the same time as they get to learn more about the student and his/her home country. Our families come from all walks of life and may be typical mother + father + child families or single parents etc.
