Gray Academy is the only Jewish day school in North America that welcomes visiting international high school students to stay with local families while they attend our school. This unique experience gives international students an incredible Jewish learning experience, fully immersed in Canadian culture.

The only program of its kind in North America, our international student and homestay program welcomes high school-age Jewish day school students from around the globe to learn at Gray Academy.

Staying with local families, these students can experience life in Canada, connect to our local Jewish community, enhance their English language skills, make new friends and build relationships that last a lifetime.

Who can participate

  • International families who are interested in a rich and rewarding Canadian-Jewish learning experience for their teen.
  • International students in Grades 10-12 who are currently learning in a Jewish day school or another robust Jewish learning environment.
  • Local families who want to host a visiting student, anywhere from a few months up to a full school year.
