We are still looking for host families for Dmitri, Gleb, Aleksandr and Gleb, 16 and 17 year-old Russian boys who are visiting Trumbull from July 24th through August 19th . The boys will be studying English language and American culture on weekdays at the EF Educational Programs Language School at Christian Heritage School on White Plains Road.
We will take the students are cultural visits around Connecticut during their stay, so hosts are only responsible for providing a place to stay, meals, transportation to school (or a local bus stop) and friendship.
The students are looking forward to learning about America through the homestay experience. They are also eager to be a part of an American family for their 3 ½ week stay.
