everyone involved is helping the students learn.

age restrictions:

United States. The Airport pick-up fee will not be refunded
if a transfer is missed due to information received after this
deadline, or due to a failure to inform FLS of changes in your

completion of the program is not included in the price and must
be purchased separately at an additional cost, if required.
Unaccompanied Minor Service: Upon request, FLS will

refunds are not prorated on a weekly basis. FLS will refund all
fees within 45 days from the student’s last date of attendance
or date of determination. All refund requests must be made
in writing.
Homestay Refund: No refunds will be given for the fi rst
four weeks of accommodation. If 25% or less of the program
has been completed 50% of the unused accommodation
portion will be refunded. If more than 25% and less than 50%
has been completed, 25% of the unused accommodation
portion will be refunded. If more than 50% of the program has
been completed, no accommodation refund will be made.
Homestay Transfers: If you are living with a homestay
family and want to transfer to another homestay family
after the fi rst week trial period, you must notify your original
homestay family 15 days in advance. There is a $150.00
housing transfer fee that must be paid to FLS International
prior to transfer.
Dormitory, Apartment and International House Refund
and Cancellation Policy: Students who are placed in
FLS-arranged apartments, dormitories or the International
House for a fi xed period of time are bound to stay for the
duration of that contracted period. Early move-out will result
in a forfeiture of all remaining unused rent fee. Note that this
includes if a student moves out during a vacation break. Early
move-out students can avoid rent forfeiture if another student
can be found to move-in for the remainder of the contracted
housing term. Students will be solely responsible for
fi nding another student to take their place. The FLS Housing
Coordinator and/or apartment manager must approve the
new student before he/she is allowed to move in. Students
requesting housing at the International House in Boston are
subject to a $385.00 cancellation fee if canceling less than 30
days prior to the start of their program.
6. Change of Housing Fee Assessment
When students change their housing option from a lesser fee
amount to a greater fee amount (for example, when a student
changes from twin room to single room or from no housing to
dormitory), students must:
A. Pay the $150.00 Housing Change Fee.
B. Pay the basic housing charge for twin room (if moving from
no housing to a housing option).
C. Pay any supplemental fees (or the diff erence between
supplemental fees) as noted on the current FLS price sheet.
(For example, a student changing from Twin Room to Single
Room would pay a supplement of $100.00 per week).
7. Homestay Policies
FLS will not place a student in a home with another student
with the same native language, unless specifi cally requested
to do so. FLS will not place students of opposite genders in the
same family.
FLS off ers various price ranges for diff erent homestay
situations. A ‘single room’ placement refers to a home with
two or more students, but where each student has their own
room. A ‘twin room’ placement refers to homes in which two
students share the same room.

8. Homestay Process
I. FLS places each student into his or her homestay upon arrival
to the U.S. FLS students that have requested our Airport Pickup
Service receive a friendly greeting at the airport upon their
arrival in the United States and are taken to their homestay
accommodation directly via a comfortable FLS Shuttle Bus.
II. Each student goes through the placement process.
Homestay placements are administered as follows:
A. Family members receive the student’s application in
advance of the student’s arrival and students receive the
homestay family’s information in advance of their departure
from their home country.
B. Upon arrival an FLS Homestay representative presents the
student to the family and conducts a homestay orientation.
C. The homestay family and student thoroughly read an
agreement outlining the conditions of the homestay including
use of the laundry room, kitchen facilities, meals, telephone,
and other details of day-to-day homestay life. Families and
students also receive a 24-hour FLS contact number for any
urgent situation requiring special assistance.
D. The fi rst seven days of the homestay are a probationary
period. Students can change homestay families during this
period if they are unhappy or uncomfortable with any aspect
of their experience without an additional charge.
E. Upon completion of the homestay assignment, students
complete an evaluation form grading the homestay on a
variety of categories, including friendliness, meal quality,
family interaction, house conditions, etc. These evaluations
are used for future student placements.
9. Homestay Selection Process
I. FLS operates full ‘in-house’ homestay services.
This means that we do not use outside homestay agencies
in our careful selection process or in our homestay
administration. FLS maintains a full-time, ‘in-house’ homestay
coordinator at each center to insure direct and prompt
attention to the concerns of homestay students and families.
The pool of FLS families is contained in a homestay computer
database that assists in matching a student’s desired
homestay conditions (e.g. pets or no pets, children or no
children, smoking or no smoking, etc.).
II. Each new family must go through a strict selection process.
The family selection process is as follows:
A. We obtain family applicants through referrals from
existing FLS families, area churches, and community service
organizations (e.g. Elks Clubs, Lions Club, PTA, etc.).
B. Families must complete a detailed application including
reference information from relatives, friends and employers.
We contact these references to insure the family’s solid
community reputation as well as for student security
and satisfaction.
C. The FLS Homestay Coordinator visits the homestay applicant
for an interview and home inspection. The homestay must be
thoroughly clean, comfortable and secure and the student’s
room furnished appropriately with a bed, dresser and desk.
In addition, the homestay must be within 30 minutes to the
student’s school by bus, with a maximum of one bus transfer.
10. Holidays
FLS International offi ces will be closed on the following
days for 2014:

November 27, November 28, and December 25.
11. Insurance

their stay in the United States. If an applicant cannot provide
written proof of insurance before arrival, that student must
purchase medical insurance for the duration of his or her stay.
12. Payments

13. Promotions
FLS welcomes your ideas about potentially lucrative
advertising options and academic programs. Please do not
hesitate to contact us by fax at 626-795-5564 or by e-mail

or newspaper displays, well-attended student fairs, or ideas
for innovative new programs. We look forward to rewarding
your eff orts.
14. Reporting
In order to be activated and registered in SEVIS, F-1 students
must report to their FLS International campus in person, and
enroll and register in classes. The enrollment process includes
paying tuition and completing the student contract.
15. Student Behavior
FLS realizes that it can be diffi cult for students to adjust to new
environments. Our advisors are experienced in dealing with
these issues and will make every eff ort to help students cope
with stressful circumstances.
However, FLS International reserves the right to expel
students from any of its programs for reasons of extreme
disregard of school regulations or behavior policies, illegal
activities or inappropriate or illegal use of drugs or alcohol,
as defi ned by FLS International and the Center Director or
Program Coordinator at the site.
In the rare occasion that such a situation occurs, a student will
fi rst be placed on probation (given a verbal and/or written
warning) and the agent will be notifi ed. A second instance of
unacceptable behavior may result in suspension (removal from
the program for several days) or expulsion (complete removal
from the program and a request that the student immediately
return to his/her home country at their own expense).
The decision of FLS International in such matters will be fi nal
and no refunds will be issued in such cases.
16. Transportation
Students aged 15 and older should expect to use public
transportation to travel to and from school. On occasion, FLS
may accept a student under the age of 15 for our programs.
In this case, FLS strongly recommends the students not
use public transportation alone. FLS will arrange alternate,
supervised, transportation for these students at an additional
cost of $50.00 per week.
17. Visa Denial
“Visa Denial” occurs when a potential student, who has made
payment to FLS, is denied an F-1 Student Visa by the U.S.
consulate in his or her home country. In this case, FLS will
retain payment for application, accommodation placement,
express mail and other applicable fees for services rendered
(excluding tuition) not to exceed US $500.00.
17. Family Visitation
For minor students (under the age of 18) who intend to
arrange a visit with relatives during their FLS program, the
student’s parent or guardian must complete and sign a Family
Visit Authorization form. This form may be obtained upon
request from any FLS staff member or agent.
Prices and schedules are subject to change throughout
the year.
