- Host families provide a home-like experience for international high school students over school breaks.
- Host families have the opportunity to share meals and activities with their students balanced with time for them to work and practice their art.
- Many students will have personal goals over break (college prep, virtual lessons, etc.), or just need their own downtime - keep a good balance between together time and giving them space!
- We encourage new hosts to apply by October 1.
