Bristol Host Families
School Integration Programme places primary and secondary school-aged international students into carefully selected British schools for an immersive cultural exchange lasting one to two weeks.
This experience benefits everyone involved. We are seeking Schools in the region to join this scheme so — your students, the local pupils, and the host schools — create meaningful cross-cultural understanding and lifelong friendships.
Programme Highlights and Student Benefits
Through this unique international education experience, your students will:
Discover and appreciate new cultures – gaining inspiration and a deeper global perspective.
Enhance their English language skills in real-life settings.
Build friendships with British students and peers from diverse backgrounds.
Learn in a safe, supportive environment designed to encourage growth, confidence, and curiosity.
A proposed schedule would follow this pattern:
Monday: Welcome where students meet their buddy to join the same lessons
Tuesday - Thursday: Students join all the classes of their buddy
Friday: Students join classes with their buddy with a closing ceremony at the end of the day
Our goal is to make every student’s integration experience educational, memorable, and transformative — a true step toward becoming global citizens.
