International High School Exchange seeks host families in Manning

Posted

Visiting students ages 15-18 from Germany, Spain, Switzerland and Thailand are seeking host families in and around Manning for the upcoming 2014-15 academic school year. Host families are needed for the fall semester and full school year.

Host families (traditional families, singles, empty nesters, etc.) serve as mentors and a home base for their student. Visiting students participate as active members of the family and integrate into their host’s daily routines and traditions just like any other family member. Hosting an international student is a great way to explore a new culture and promote a sense of lifelong learning and adventure.

“Every year South Carolina plays host to hundreds of talented, top-of-their-class students with the lifelong dream of studying in America,” reports Joseph Bissell, iE-USA’s Regional Director. “Our state’s hospitality and prominent focus on academic enrichment makes it an ideal environment to develop cultural exchange and promote international diplomacy on a local level.”

To learn more about how to make the dream come true for an international high school exchange student, contact our iE South Carolina representative, Emily Rolin at e.rolin@international-experience.net  269-625-4662 . Host families may review prospective student profiles online at iE-USA.org.

Families interested in hosting this year must apply by Aug. 15.
