World Heritage Student Exchange Program is seeking local host families for high school boys and girls from Scandinavia, France, Germany, Italy, Thailand, China, South Korea, and the former Soviet Republics. Students are already awaiting word on their host families for the 2015-16 academic school year. Host families provide room, board, and guidance for a teenager living thousands of miles from home. Couples, single parents, and families with or without children in the home are all encouraged to apply.
The exchange students arrive from their home countries shortly before the 2015-2016 school year begins. World Heritage students are fully insured, bring their own personal spending money, and expect to bear their share of household responsibilities as well as to be included in normal family activities and lifestyles. As your World Heritage student becomes a part of your life, he or she will also gain a deeper appreciation for both your culture as well as their own culture.
