Strategically located within a greenery heartland in the north, our homestays are just 3-6 minutes walk away from Sembawang MRT station and bus interchange. Reputable primary and secondary schools are minutes away, a major advantage as our students spend less time travelling daily to schools thus they could focus more in their studies. Our homestay are clean and taken care of by dedicated full-time staffs. There are currently two full-time care takers in each homestay, trained and certified in students’ care and counselling, undergraduates are well taken care of in all aspect of their stay here in Singapore. Our objective all these years have been to provide our overseas students a homely, secured and conducive environment to excel in their studies. Why Choose Homestay Hence, homestay in Singapore has an edge over other housing options available because: A major concern of many parents of children studying abroad is their offspring’s accommodation. Parents are usually worried about the location or district where the house is sited, the accommodation type, the costs involved and the quality of the related services. ¦The guardian or house-parent to students ratio is low compared to say, that of a hostel. Therefore, the standard of guardian care and support is higher in comparison. ¦The ambiance and environs of a typical Singapore Homestay accommodation is of a higher quality than other alternative accommodation types. A Singapore homestay for instance gives students a home-away-home feel, living with an ordinary family in a typical Singapore household. ¦Home-cooked meals and laundry and ironing services provided in a homestay are superior in quality. ¦Homestay in Singapore provides students with greater personal touch, flexibility and space compared to other forms of student housing. Homestay provides the perfect environment where your child can enjoy family care, love and attention. It is important that during the absence of parents, your child can continue to receive attentive care and emotional support from a guardian - a foster parent. Attentive Care, Family Support In a hostel where the ratio of a guardian to students is typically high, it is a challenge for a guardian to develop strong bonds with every child. In a homestay, it is different. The guardian who is also the homestay host has many opportunities to develop a healthy relationship with the student. This can happen when spending family times together such as family goes out shopping, or during meal times and even special outings on the weekends. Feel Right At Home with Home Cook Food Not to be overlooked is home cook food. Your child may have special diet that requires special attention or simply a special touch put in by the guardian to prepare a home country dish just for the child. I know of a guardian in our programme who prepared a korean dish certain day of the week just so the korean student will light up with delight. Having studied abroad and in my past life, sent on short job stints overseas, I totally appreciate home cooked food - Home cooked food never fails to warm your heart. Monitoring and Assess Development An important role for a guardian, on top of providing for the students basic needs such as food and lodging, family environment is to provide guidance to the child in decision making. Frequently this can be done in consultation with the parent. The guardian may also periodically feedback to the parent about the student’s progress in school.
