Whether a student feels most comfortable in a welcoming host family or prefers the independence and community of a residential house, HomePort provides carefully managed accommodation designed around student safety, comfort, and wellbeing.
Option 01
Experience everyday American life in a carefully matched host family environment.
Students are matched with host families based on interests, personality, lifestyle, and overall compatibility, so the home a student moves into is one where they can genuinely settle in.
Option 02
A supportive residential experience designed for students who want a comfortable, structured, and community-focused place to call home.
The residential house program gives students a safe and supported environment while attending Saddle River Day School, with adults on site and a student community around them.
Screening And Vetting
Every host family and residential house parent goes through a rigorous screening and vetting process designed to help ensure a safe and supportive environment for every student.
Detailed application review and a comprehensive screening process.
Background checks are completed for all adults aged 18 and above.
