HOST FAMILIES NEEDEDFamilies are needed for next year to host international students attending the Academy. This is a life-changing experience for everyone! Our students from Spain, Mexico, Belgium, Thailand, Italy, China, Korea and elsewhere have enriched the school experience for students and staff. The students learn all about our way of living, and the essential ingredient is a loving host family. They come in all shapes and sizes -- with young children, older children, two separate homes, one home, working parents, lots of pets, no pets, vegetarian or not, near school or a bus ride away. The key is to open your hearts and welcome a student in. Please consider this as it's not always easy to find homes. To speak to a host family or the coordinator for the PAX student exchange, please email Jackie Walsh or call 413-625-9413.
