As part of a commitment to student safety and experience, an updated version of the B.C. K-12 International Student Homestay Guidelines (the Guidelines) is now available on the International Education Resources page. These guidelines were reviewed and revised by the ministry and a working group of representatives from post-secondary education, independent schools, international education associations, the BC Council for International Education, and districts from every region of the province. The Guidelines represent the general view on industry best practice.
