Being a host family
What are host families?
Host Families play a vital role in the Pearson College UWC community, acting as surrogate families and providing much-needed respites for students.
Most Pearson students are far away from their own families, many for the first time, and need a home away from home. Host Families welcome student(s) to their house for a night, a weekend, or for one of our longer breaks. Students love to get a break from campus. They usually develop close relationships with their Host Families and describe their time with them as one of the most rewarding experiences of their two-year stay at Pearson College UWC. The experience is equally cherished by the nearly 200 Host Families involved in the program.
