Elgin Academy Seeking International Host Families

We invite you to open your heart and home to an international student from China or South Korea. We are currently in need of host families for four male international students. The boys will be Upper School students at Elgin Academy for the 2017 -2018 school year (one freshman, two sophomores, one junior). There is a
monthly stipend of $856.00. Host families provide room and board and a supportive environment in which the student can learn and thrive.

We invite you to become a part of the Elgin Academy Community of host families for our international students. As a host family you will:
· Make the dream of international study possible for a deserving student.
· Extend the warmth of your family to a student who is far away from home.
· Make the world a friendlier place by sharing your family’s culture and traditions.
· Have the opportunity to personally connect with an international family to cultivate friendship and goodwill.
· Experience the fun of learning about another language and culture.

Attached you will find testimonials from some of our international students and host families. Host parents are available upon request to answer any questions you might have about hosting a student.

To find out more information about hosting an international student and the corresponding stipend, contact Dr. Diane Schael, Director of Admission at Elgin Academy by call 847-695-0300 or by email at dschael@elginacademy.org.
