Host an international student!

Looking for warm, caring families to host international high school students during the 2016-2017 school year.

Global Connections, the homestay division of International Education Opportunities, is seeking families to become hosts for our international students during the 2016-2017 school year! Sharing your home with an international student is an excellent way for you and your family to learn about a new culture while sharing your family traditions with someone new. Host families are paid a generous monthly stipend to help offset the cost of having another person in the household. Hosts are asked to treat students like members of their own families and to involve them in the daily routine of the home. Hosts provide a private bedroom, meals, and school transportation. Most importantly, they are expected to provide a stable, caring environment.

For more information or to apply, please visit us at http://www.gcstays.com or call our Residential Life office at 215-259-4055. Can’t host, but know someone who can? We offer a $300 referral gift for a family that matches with one of our students!

Short term and summer hosting opportunities also available.
