FAQ<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosting an exchange student is one of the most rewarding experiences you and your family can have!<\/strong> Besides the hands-on opportunity for learning about a new culture, you and your children will see our American culture through an entirely new lens. And we make it easy! The Japanese students stay with us in our homes for one week in July. They participate in activities with their fellow students and teachers during the weekdays and we have them to participate in our family activities in the evenings and on the weekend. The activities we arrange during family time do not have to be expensive or planning-intensive! For example, exchange students enjoy shopping with us at the grocery store, going to Winter Island, playing board games or games in the backyard. Often host families work together to have nail-painting parties, basketball games, etc. Many of us also form carpools so getting the Japanese students at pickup and drop off becomes even easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
