Experience the World in Your Home - Host an International Student!

Chinese high school students attending The Cambrian International Academy in San Jose need caring host families.

Gphomestay has officially partnered with The Cambrian International Academy! Together, we are offering a unique cultural opportunity to families in San Jose and the surrounding areas. If you are interested in making a positive impact on the life of an international student and live within 30 minutes of San Jose, you may want to consider becoming a host family. If interested, you can fill out our application at http://www.gphomestay.com/Application4.html

Host families receive a monthly stipend of $1200 a month and have access to ongoing support from local Residential Coordinators who can help with coordinating meeting your student upon arrival, keeping you connected with the school community, and mediating issues if they arise.

Students come with their own insurance and spending money and typically stay for the academic year. There are also short-term hosting opportunities available. We ask that host families provide three meals a day, transportation to and from school (carpooling or taking the school bus is acceptable), and a private bedroom for their student.
