Host families are the heart of every homestay programme. Harbor gives you a dedicated portal - apply, prepare, manage placements and stay connected with your school. No more paper forms. No more confusion about expectations.
Built for hosts who are running their household. Apply during the kids' bath time. Submit a pastoral care survey on the bus. Check pay night-by-night from the couch.
Complete your application at your own pace. Save and return. Upload documents straight from your phone. No paper, no posting.
Know what to expect before a student arrives. Step-by-step onboarding modules with progress tracking. No surprises on day one.
Quick structured surveys that take minutes. Share how things are going with the school - simply, on your phone, without the paperwork.
See your pay before it's paid. Night-by-night breakdown. Absence deductions visible. Dietary surcharges shown. No more guessing.
You're not at a desk. You're at the school gate, at work, in the car, at the kitchen bench. Harbor was built for that reality.
Pastoral care surveys are short. We respect your time.
Everything works in your browser. Bookmark the page. Done.
If your first language isn't English, Harbor still works.
No more wondering who to email. Send a message through Harbor - the right person gets it.
No paper forms. No confusion about expectations. You know exactly what's happening and feel supported throughout your time as a host.
If your school runs on Harbor, your host portal is one click away. Schools looking to bring host families onto a proper digital platform - we'd love to talk.
