Singapore Homestay for International Students

Singapore Homestay — Long-Term Accommodation & Daily Care for International Students

When your child comes to Singapore to study alone, a dorm room isn’t enough — they need a stable home, home-cooked meals, and someone looking out for them day to day. Yobbi’s homestay program places students with a trusted host family for stays of 6 months or longer, giving families overseas real peace of mind.

School Liaison & Study Support

We help with communication with your child's school and day-to-day academic matters, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum stay for Yobbi's homestay program?

We only arrange long-term homestay placements of 6 months or longer. We don’t offer short-term or holiday stays.

How do you keep us updated on our child's schooling and daily life?

We help liaise with your child’s school on day-to-day matters and keep parents updated regularly, so you always know how your child is settling in.

Does my child get their own room?

Room arrangements depend on the specific host family placement — we’ll confirm the exact accommodation details with you before your child arrives.

Can my child get extra help with schoolwork alongside the homestay?

Yes — many families combine homestay with our live-in Family Educator program for extra academic support and companionship after school.

What happens if there's an emergency?

Our team provides prompt support whenever something urgent comes up, so your child is never on their own.

How is this different from Yobbi's overseas student guardianship service?

Homestay covers where your child lives day-to-day — accommodation, meals and daily care. Guardianship is the separate legal role required for students under 18 in Singapore. We can help arrange both.
