Welcome Home: A Caring Community for International Students
 

At Eden, we believe every student deserves a supportive and loving home away from home. 

Our International Homestay Program is built on care, connection, and community.


Our dedicated International Director and Student Coordinator are here to walk alongside both students and host families—providing guidance, support, and a listening ear every step of the way.
 

We host monthly gatherings designed to nurture relationships, offer encouragement, and provide practical support. Whether it's mediation, cultural adjustment, or meeting student needs, we're here to help ensure every student thrives—academically, emotionally, and spiritually.


Join a program where students are more than guests—they're family.
