Supporting Student

Each student in the NSISP is provided with multiple levels of support.


The most important is the Homestay Coordinator.


If students have not already done so, they should contact them before their arrival. They will be the first point of contact in various situations.

Students should contact the Homestay Coordinator if they:

  • have a question or problem they cannot solve on their own
  • do not understand Canadian culture, or something seems unusual in the home, school, or community
  • have trouble making friends or getting involved in extracurricular activities
  • feel extreme homesickness
  • have concerns or questions about school
  • want to travel or have friends visiting


Your Homestay Coordinator is here to help you. If you have questions about your school or host family, you should talk with your Homestay Coordinator. The Homestay Coordinator will mediate any issues with students and host families and take any major issues to the Director/Program Manager for help finding a resolution.


Another level of support is the Director and Program Manager within their region. 


Their Director is their legal guardian while enrolled in the NSISP and oversees the program within their region. Program Managers often communicate with students about upcoming events, issues they may have (if not resolved by the Homestay Coordinator), and general information about the region.


Students are encouraged to work things out with their Homestay Coordinator or Program Manager before meeting with the Director or Program Manager. The Director may choose to bring the matter to the Operation Committee for discussion. However, the final decision for all student matters rests with their respective RCE/CSAP.


Within the schools, there are teacher liaisons and ambassadors. The teacher liaisons help students with their courses and academic issues. All high schools in Nova Scotia have student ambassadors. The ambassadors contact students before arrival to introduce themselves and ensure they know at least one person before they arrive! They help students become familiar with the school and community and help create friendships with other students. The ambassadors also strive to make their school a more internationalized and welcoming environment.
