Host an Exchange Student

international Experience - USA Hosting an international student offers a life-changing experience for the entire family that lasts well after the time of the exchange. iE-USA (usa.international-experience.net) celebrates the unique character of each host family and student. A carefully matched exchange student becomes an extension of your family, and you gain a son or daughter from around the globe. Host families offer "family support" and may be of any make-up, including established singles and couples, domestic partnerships, and families with children of all ages.

Our students originate from around the world including Germany, Thailand, Serbia, Montenegro, Italy, Poland, Finland, Spain, Colombia, Iceland, Austria, Switzerland, France, Myanmar and China. iE-USA students participate in a Department of State sponsored cultural immersion program including academic, social and family components. Students attend high school in the US while living with a host family for 1 or 2 semesters. Experience Another Culture in Your Own Home Learn about your student's cultural norms and perspectives. Model cultural acceptance and global service as a life lesson for your own children. Learn a new language or practice the language you are currently learning. Host Families Provide: A non-inflatable, permanent bed. Students may share a room with a host sibling of the same gender and similar age. Three meals a day. Students electing to purchase lunch at school instead of packing a lunch should also pay for that extra expense. Help with transportation at times, since students cannot drive. Students may ride the school bus and/or arrange to get rides from friends and neighbors. iE Exchange Students Provide: Their own spending money for all personal expenses including school and sports fees, personal entertainment, clothes, souvenirs, etc. Their own medical insurance.
