Greenheart High School Exchange


Meet Jakub, a 17-year-old exchange student from the Czech Republic. He's excited to experience life in Colorado and is looking for a host family in the Conifer or Evergreen high school areas. Time is running out, so if you're interested in that area, keep reading!

Jakub is a down-to-earth and responsible guy. He loves his family, and spending time with them is his top priority. Even though his high school is far from home, he stays connected with his loved ones and appreciates their support.

Soccer is Jakub's thing. He played it for seven years and even won some trophies. Although he had to stop playing because of high school, he still kicks the ball around with his friends in the dormitory and plays during PE classes. Soccer brings him joy and helps him stay fit.

Jakub is also interested in renewable energy, particularly solar power. He's into repairing Apple products and wants to share his knowledge on YouTube or through online courses. He believes solar energy is underutilized and wants to help people become more energy-independent.

Outside of academics, Jakub enjoys a wide range of activities. He's into sports like badminton, biking, camping, fishing, skiing, swimming, tennis, and volleyball. He also appreciates culture, like classical music, photography, visiting historic sites and museums, and watching sports.

If you're considering hosting Jakub, rest assured that he's easygoing and flexible. He's mature for his age and ready to make new friends and try new things in the US. Plus, he has no pet allergies, although he's not a fan of spiders and insects.

So, if you're a family in the Conifer or Evergreen high school areas, Jakub could be the perfect addition to your household. He's eager to make the most of his exchange experience and make his host family proud. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity!
