Housing
At The Academy at MiraCosta, we understand how important a safe, welcoming, and engaging living environment is for international students. That’s why we’ve partnered with FA Homestay to offer two exceptional housing options: International Student Residences and Homestay with a Local Family.
International Student Residence
International student residence is a popular choice among students. It’s located just a 5-minute walk from school and offers the perfect balance of independence, comfort, and community.
With on-site staff supervision, daily meals, access to a resort-style pool, fitness center, and clubhouse, students can enjoy an exciting and secure lifestyle.
Weekly events such as pool parties, movie nights, and semester entertainment programs such as tours to Disneyland help students form friendships, practice English, and make unforgettable memories during their time in California.

Live with a Local Host Family

For students seeking a cultural immersion experience, our homestay program places them with carefully screened local families who provide a supportive and nurturing home away from home.
Each host family is interviewed, trained, and regularly visited by our Student Services team to ensure they meet our standards and truly understand the needs of international students.
This option offers a unique opportunity to be part of American family life, practice English daily, and enjoy home-cooked meals in a warm, welcoming environment.
Ongoing Support and Regular Communication
Our dedicated housing team maintains strong communication between students, host families, and academic staff to ensure a smooth and positive experience. If any academic or personal challenges arise, we’re here to help resolve them quickly and thoughtfully. To give parents peace of mind, we provide monthly reports that highlight each student’s well-being, academic progress, and participation in activities. A comprehensive semester report offers even deeper insight into their social and academic development. Parents are also encouraged to follow us on social media or contact our team directly for updates—so they can stay closely connected to their child’s journey and growth at The Academy at MiraCosta.
