Host an International Student

June 26, 2015

Host an International Student through St. Maria Goretti High School and Gphomestay

Have an extra bedroom? Ever thought about opening your home to a new family member and a new culture? When you join Gphomestay, you do exactly that.

Gphomestay is an international student residential service offering 24/7 support to students and the host parents. Gphomestay was founded in 2011 by its sister company, The Cambridge Institute, in response to a need for residential support. The Cambridge Institute is the academic side to the residential support; it works with over 200 schools in 40 states creating meaningful and sustainable international programs. Both companies work to bring diverse groups of students to high schools and American families throughout the United States.

We are actively matching International students attending St. Maria Goretti High School with qualified host families for the upcoming school year. When you host one of our students, you become a liaison between them and American culture and education. Through our partnership with St. Maria Goretti High School, gphomestay is offering the experience of a lifetime.

To offset the costs of hosting a student, families will be provided with a $900 monthly stipend. Families also have access to ongoing local support. Students arrive with their own insurance and spending money.

The partnership also offers a $300 referral bonus for any approved host family that lists your name as their source of referral on their application.
