Homestay Program
A home-stay with a Mexican host family. For a fee of $100 USD per week, you receive three meals a day and have
your own private bedroom. Home-stays are usually 35-45 minutes bus journey from the Training Center.
Guadalajara, as most metropolitan cities, has residential areas and commercial areas. Because of our
privileged location in the Downtown Historical Area, we do not have host homes that are within walking
distance. Our Area is mostly historical buildings, restaurants, stores, etc. We select families that live
in safe, pleasant neighborhoods, with easy access to public transportation. All home-stay families have
been carefully selected and their properties inspected.
Homestay program includes:
- One student per family unless otherwise requested.
- Three meals per day (one packed lunch to bring with you to school).
- Begins one day prior to the beginning of the classes and concludes up to one day after classes finish.
- Students do their own laundry.
- Mexican cooking.
- This option is particularly useful for those who wish to practice their Spanish
