For host families & parents

One address.
One list. One button.

You are doing the organisation a favour, not filing a return. So there is one place with everything about your student, a list of what is genuinely expected of you with dates on it, and a button that reaches a person who knows your name.

Eight things to know

What hosting looks like from your side

Before you sign up

Nothing to install, nothing to remember

Signing in is six digits from an email. Nobody has to invent a password at eleven at night to find out which terminal to drive to.

What you see

Your own student, and nothing about anybody else’s

Tasks with dates, whether school is going well, and what she told us before she arrived.

One button

And it reaches a person

No categories to guess and no form. Underneath sits a red-bordered escape that skips everything else.

What you do not see

Also deliberate

Incident reports and her academic records are not yours to read, and a low wellbeing check-in is never shown to you.

Fees

A plan with dates, not a total with a shock

Every line itemised, what is not included said before you sign, and a missed instalment treated as a conversation.

Software billing

No separate family invoice

The programme organisation pays its plan's connected-code rate when a family member uses an issued code. An unused code is not billed.

No separate family software invoice.The programme pays for each connected code.

No account for the basics.Six digits from an email is the whole of it.

One button, and a person answers.Day or night.

Four answers, not one blanket yes.And you can withdraw any of them.

Before you sign up for anything

Nothing to install, nothing to remember

Signing in is six digits from an email. Nobody has to invent a password at eleven at night to find out which terminal to drive to.

When you do want an account, the invite code is single-use and written for you by name, and a sign-in code works once and expires in an hour.

What you see

Your own student, and nothing about anybody else’s

Tasks with dates, not reminders in a thread

What is due, what is done, and who to ask. Not a message you have to scroll back through in three weeks to find again.

Whether school is going well

You see how she is doing. You do not see her marks — academic detail belongs to her, her guardian and the people responsible for it.

Why →

What she told us before she arrived

What she is looking forward to and what she is nervous about, her dietary needs, and the flight she lands on — before she arrives rather than after.

What you do not see is also deliberate: incident reports and her academic records are not yours to read, and a wellbeing check-in with a low score is never shown to you. That protects the honesty of what she tells her coordinator.

One button, and it reaches a person

No categories to guess and no form. Write it however you like — or send a voice note or a photo. Underneath sits a red-bordered escape that skips everything else: “I’m in danger.”

One press reaches the programme’s real queue and notifies its staff, marked as an emergency so it bypasses every quiet-hours setting. Then it shows you your own request coming back with its status, so asking for help is not a leap of faith.

And it never degrades. Not if the programme is behind on an invoice, not out of hours, not on the cheapest plan.

Anything about harm, medical symptoms, or a third press inside twenty-four hours goes to a human without a model being consulted.

Emergency ignores quiet hours. And it never degrades — whatever the billing state.

Fees as a plan with dates, not a total with a shock

1

Every line is itemised

Placement, school enrolment, insurance, coordinator support, orientation camp — and the total.

2

What is not included is said before you sign

Flights, visa fee, pocket money, personal spending — with an estimate, in advance rather than afterwards.

3

Instalments are normal

A deposit and three instalments is the usual shape, with the dates on screen from the beginning.

4

A missed instalment is a conversation

Nothing changes for your child. Her placement, school and support continue. Retry, split it smaller, or talk to somebody confidentially.

Financial aid is reviewed by a person, never scored by Ariadne — and asking for it is invisible to the host family and to the school.

“Every adult-to-minor message is recorded, never private.”

Platform law, not a setting somebody can change.

If your child is under 18

You decide, in four separate answers

She cannot finish signing up alone. The account is created and held, and nothing personal is stored while it is held. The jurisdiction sets the age, not us.

Four toggles, not one blanket yes: create her account · message her coordinator · store medical and dietary needs · appear in programme photos.

Every adult-to-minor message is recorded, never private. That is platform law, not a setting somebody can change.

You will always see who opened her record — and you can review, change or withdraw any of this at any time.

Safety features stay on regardless. The help button and the emergency chain are not part of what you are consenting to.

For host families

Always $0

Audecius does not invoice the host family separately. The programme organisation pays its plan's connected-code rate when a family member uses an issued code; an unused code is not billed.
