Become a Homestay Host

Thank you for your interest in hosting an International Student from Auckland Grammar School. Hosting a student is an enriching and fun experience and a great way for you and those living in your household to enjoy learning about a new culture and sharing your own.

These young students benefit immeasurably from a caring and supportive environment, and being able to improve their spoken English in a relaxed, family-oriented situation.

The home should ideally be within 6km from the School. The hosting payment is NZ$400 per week, which is paid one month in advance.

To apply to become a homestay host, complete this application form and return by email. All hosts are also required to complete a Police Clearance process form, which is mandatory in New Zealand.
