The GEOS Homestay Program is intended to give visiting foreign students a first-hand experience of American culture by sharing with their host family in everyday life. As well as being able to use practical English language skills they have learned in school, it is expected that students will be able to participate in family activities for a holistic view of life in Costa Mesa. A GEOS staff member visits each of our homestay families with student's interests in mind. Our aim is to provide our students with a secure, educational, and economical environment. Our host families live in safe, comfortable neighborhoods in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Would you like to share your home and culture with an international student? We are now recruiting host families to join our program. Please contact GEOS English Academy, San Francisco.

HOMESTAY TESTIMONIAL
Student: Hsiao-Chi Liao, Taiwan, Level 3 Host Family: Jo-Ann D’Angelo
“She is the best host mother; she always encourages me and chats with me. She has good kitchen skills and I enjoyed our meals everyday. She is a warm person; she is very kind and treated me like her daughter. I had a great time in this house and I’m so grateful, I would recommend homestay to another student.”
Host Family Testimonial for GEOS:
Host Mother: Jo-Ann D’Angelo:
“I have hosted international students for 14 years and enjoyed hosting from the various schools in San Francisco. One of the best schools has been GEOS— that being the students who are very suited for travel, very eager to learn about the English language and experience our life here. The staff at GEOS is the most caring and truly interested in the well being of their student. It is a small but mighty school and [therefore] more able to have a “one on one” experience for the student. This is a successful program, I have seen the results, and love working with the GEOS team…together we are making a better world.”
