International Student Affairs

Students come from countries all over the world to attend The Art Institute of Seattle. Seattle is a great city in which to live and study. It is large enough to offer outstanding cultural opportunities and an innovative business environment. At the same time, Seattle is small enough to make strangers quickly feel at home.

  • Home Stay Program - International students interested in living with an American family may choose to participate in the Home Stay Program. Living with an American family provides a great opportunity to further experience the American culture. The Art Institute works with Home Stay providers in the Seattle area for placement. Students complete an application and pay a fee to be matched with a family that has been carefully interviewed by the Home Stay Provider. Monthly costs vary dependent on the type of Home Stay.
