You will meet other students and wait for the Pilgrims bus. Your Pilgrims Teacher will accompany you and the other students to your host families. You stay with a Pilgrims Host Family who offer you a very warm welcome and make you feel part of the family. Pilgrims Host Families are specially hand picked by us to make sure that you have the best possible stay. You have a single room or share a larger room with another student of a different nationality.
Pilgrims place a maximum of two students with any family.
All Pilgrims Hosts have a special check carried out by the police to make sure that they are suitable to look after your children. From the moment you arrive at your family's house you speak English. You are shown to your bedroom to unpack and quickly settle in. You can make a 'collect' call home to tell you family that you have arrived safely. Your Pilgrims family will help you do this.
