Why Host a Foreign Exchange Student?
Hosting an international student offers a life-changing experience for the entire family that lasts well after the time of the exchange. I have hosted four students, and it has been a great experience!
Our students originate from around the world including Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Finland, Germany, Italy, Liberia, Mexico, Montenegro, Poland, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, and Ukraine.
Experience Another Culture in your own home!
-Learn about your student's cultural norms and perspectives.
-Model cultural acceptance and global services as a life lesson for your own children
-Learn a new language or practice the language you are currently learning.
Families of all shapes and sizes make terrific hosts. The key component of a great host family is the willingness to welcome a student into their daily routines as a member of the family. Among our treasured host families are single parents, empty-nesters, young married couples without children, couples in a domestic partnership, and families with children of all ages.
