Hosting An International Student

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to experience another culture?
Hosting an international student can be an experience of a lifetime!
 Our schools work closely with the School District to host students from all over the world.  Visiting students live with a host family, attend classes with our students and participate in extra-curricular and community activities.  Fully immersed in the English language, international students develop their language skills and create new and lasting friendships.
 Host families around the province welcome students from abroad into their homes – not as foreign students, but as members of their families – and surround them with a safe, caring, and supportive environment.
 Many of the staff in ASD-S are currently hosting and/or have hosted students and we wanted to give all staff the opportunity to get in on the excitement.  If you live in one of the areas where students are being placed, you may want to consider this opportunity.
 If you and your family are interested in exploring the possibility of hosting a student for 8 weeks (KV only), 12 weeks, a semester and/or a full school year, I would invite you to get in touch with one of LYNN MACDONALD – Lynn.MacDonald2@gnb.ca …..she will put you in touch with the appropriate Homestay Coordinator.  Keep in mind that students attend their community school based on their homestay address.
We are now looking for families to host students that will be coming in September…..contact Lynn today…..you’ll be glad you did!
