HOST FAMILY EXPERIENCE
Become an Extension of the BG Family!
International students are welcomed into the homes of our local host families who serve as their legal guardian while in Altoona (August through May). We take special care to match students with the best host family to suit their unique needs and personalities.
Most of our host families have their own children at BG which provides for ample opportunities for international students to be involved in the BG community.
Interested in Becoming a Host Family? Financial compensation is generous.

“Kenta lived with us, but the BG community became his “home.” We received much support from the entire BG community. My children quickly bonded with Kenta and his Japanese family. We learned a great deal about our respective cultures. It was truly an educational experience for everyone involved.
I encourage families that are looking to foster diversity with experiences, to explore Bishop Guilfoyle. Bishop Guilfoyle is a progressive school that provides an excellent education, while preserving the foundation of values it was built on.“
