Homestay

Homestay allows students to live with local Korean families in a safe and supportive environment while experiencing daily life and culture in Korea. It is an effective way to improve Korean language skills through real-life interaction. Our host families are part of a trusted local cultural exchange organization, and we work closely with them to ensure student well-being. Appropriate supervision is provided for students under 18.

Students may be placed as the only student in a host family or share with another student, depending on availability. Most students have their own bedroom unless otherwise arranged. Host families provide breakfast and dinner from Monday to Saturday, and three meals on Sundays. While most host families speak limited English, they can usually communicate at a basic level, encouraging language immersion.

Homestay families are typically located outside the school area, with a commute of about 50–60 minutes by public transit. Students are responsible for transit costs. Host families will accompany students on the first day and explain the commute. Students also have ample free time to spend with friends from the program.

Dormitory

The dormitory is located within a 10-minute walk of the school and nearby subway stations, offering convenient access to classes and surrounding areas while saving commuting time and expenses. All students stay in single rooms with a private shower and washroom, providing a comfortable and independent living environment. Rooms also include a mini-fridge, and shared kitchen and laundry facilities are available in the building.

Meals are not provided in the dormitory. A very simple breakfast (such as milk and cereal) is available, and students typically purchase meals nearby or occasionally use the shared kitchen. The dormitory is best suited for students who are comfortable with greater independence.

A trip leader lives in the dormitory and is available for support and emergencies. Evening curfew checks are conducted, and appropriate supervision is provided for students under 18. A building manager also lives on-site to handle facility-related matters. Dorm students often spend their free time with fellow program participants, with less daily interaction with local families compared to homestay accommodation.
