NNHS Seeking Host Families for Chinese Exchange
Dear Newton North Parent,
NNHS is looking for host families for three high-school aged Chinese exchange students and one adult Chinese teacher this fall. Please help us out! Students have excellent English and are excited to take part in American family life. They enroll in classes at NNHS for the duration of their hosting dates (September 2, 2017 to January 13, 2018). You can host a student even if your child is graduating as long as you have younger children of any age in the home. Families applying to host a teacher do not need to have children in the home.
Prior host families have enjoyed the experience and said this is an amazing opportunity to learn about Chinese culture while sharing their own culture and traditions. Please note that federal law prohibits us from offering financial compensation to host families, but the experience of hosting a foreign visitor in your home is rewarding in and of itself.
If interested, please contact Global Programs Manager Samantha Mandel at samantha_mandel@newton.k12.ma.
Thank you for your help!
