Au Pair School

Every au pair attends a comprehensive 3 day Au Pair Training School and Orientation Program at the beginning of their program year as they prepare to join their host family. Starting November 2023, Au Pair School will return to in person in New Haven, Connecticut.

Au Pairs will arrive on Tuesday and attend Au Pair School on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. You can view Au Pair School Dates Here. Au pairs are available to travel from New Haven, CT after 2pm on Friday.

Starting February 2025, Au Pair School will return to Virtual Training.

Au Pairs will travel directly to the closest international airport to the host’s home and will attend training virtually from their home on the dates.
