Exchange students seek host families

International Experience has visiting students, ages 15 to 18 from around the world who are seeking host families for the 2015-16 school year. Host families are needed for the fall semester and full school year.

Exchange student come from many countries including Germany, Spain, Switzerland, and Thailand.

Host families (traditional families, singles, empty nesters) serve as mentors and a home base for their student. Visiting students participate as active members of the family and integrate into their host's daily routines and traditions just like any other family member.

Each student is responsible for his or her own spending money and full health insurance coverage.
