Should I give a key to the house?
The majority of our students are aged over 18 years. They will often socialise with their school friends after class and on some evenings. Host families usually give their students a key to the house so they can come and go as they wish. Younger students (15, 16 or 17 years) attend our school as part of a mini stay group. They are accompanied by group leaders who act as their guardians during the programme. These younger students are usually given a key to the house but are also assigned a curfew time (a time to be back in the home each evening).
Remember to show ALL students how to correctly secure your property and don’t forget to discuss your general house rules, at the beginning of their stay.
