This current school year, our school opened its doors to welcome 4 international students into our student body. 3 students from Vietnam and 1 from China came to our school to experience life as a high school student in America. The entire ICS community has benefitted from the interaction with these four fantastic students. God is bringing more and more international students to study in the United States every year and you have an incredible opportunity to impact a students' life.
There are many ways the ICS family can get involved in our International Student Program. One big way to be involved is to apply to be a homestay family. All you need is an extra bedroom with a desk for the student and a willing heart to "share parent." Homestay families are often blessed with a lifelong friendship with their students. The commitment is for the 10 month school year and families are paid a monthly stipend for hosting. This can be an enriching experience for the entire family!
If this sounds like an opportunity you’d like to learn more about, please contact Jennifer in the admissions office. We work to partner you with a student that will fit into your home, lifestyle, preferences, and personalities! Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity to have a home with an intentional mission and hospitality mindset!
