School Board Badges

Public schools in Canada are governed by various school boards across the country. Though most school boards do not constrain students in a particular kind of homestay, many school boards have their own requirements of homestays that they would prefer hosts to meet.

Homadorma would like to advocate the homestay preference of the school boards to bring trust and transparency to the market. We would like our hosts to meet the preferred requirements of the school boards, and introduce these quality homestays to our students.

* Note: Not all requirements could be displayed on our website due to technical constraints. We summarize them as "additional requirements" for students to take reference to.
