We recognise that students under the age of 18 are more vulnerable than older students, and we offer a higher level of care for those students.
We offer comprehensive support as well as confidential counselling services.
We have a regular meeting with these students to ensure their well-being and academic progress. This includes a thorough check on the homestay dwelling and host family members, with regular check-ups.
To ensure that these students are in a safe and caring environment, they are required to stay in either our registered homestay accommodation or with a designated caregiver approved by our Support Team.
