International students in New Zealand high schools must stay with homestay host families.  Hippo Homestay can help find a friendly family in the area of your chosen high school. 

Research shows that the fastest way for high school students to learn the English language is by total language immersion, and your homestay family is a crucial part of that equation.  Let them know right from the beginning that you’re keen to learn as quickly as possible and that you’d like them to let you know when you make English language mistakes or mispronunciations.   

And don’t be shy to ask your family to help you with your high school homework! If your host family knows you won’t be offended when they correct your mistakes, they’ll be delighted to help you learn.  Hippo Homestay can find you a helpful English-speaking host family in your high school area, who will become your English-learning “secret weapon”.  

They’ll also introduce you to the area around your high school – showing you where the best facilities are, the best beaches, the most interesting shops, the sports facilities.
