Why host with Quest Guardians?
We try to match our host families to our students as closely as possible in terms of interests and outlook on life, and most students will return to the same host family for all their stays. Frequently, more than one student of a similar age will be staying with a host family at any one time. In our experience, students prefer this as it offers them additional company and friendship during what is essentially a holiday period.
Please be reassured that guardianship responsibility remains with Quest Guardians during a student's host family stay.
