. — Host families are needed for high school exchange students to open their hearts, share their life and their country with international high school students this fall. CIEE USA High School students stay with their host families for either one or two semesters while attending a U.S. high school. CIEE is a non-profit high school exchange program.
Hosts will learn about the culture of another country, learn a new language and even sample international cuisine. Students bring their own spending money and health insurance. Students also bring their love, sense of humor, new perspectives on culture and deeper insights into people and places. Below are some available students ready for a host family.
n Max is from a small town in Germany. He loves horses and works on a horse farm every holiday; he named his Appaloosa Betty Sue. Max plays basketball, pool, and likes to cook.
n Julia is from a very small town in Germany of 4,000. Julia’s family has two horses and two dogs. She plays soccer and would like to try playing basketball during her exchange year, she also likes to cook, and watch dance movies like “Step Up.”
n Ana is from Spain. She has been playing piano and guitar for nine years. Ana dances ballet, rides horses and likes to hike and camp. Ana teaches Sunday school to small children at her church in Spain.
