HOST FAMILIES

Living with a host family provides a tremendous opportunity for learning, understanding, and exposure to the local culture and improving English language skills for international students. 

Our International Education Alliance host families are chosen very carefully and criminal background checks are performed.

Our host families can be a single parent, or a 2 person family with or without children.  Information and photos on the host family will be sent to the natural parents prior to the students arrival in USA

Our Host families will speak English. 

IEA chooses warm caring parents who would treat our international students like their own children. Some families may be working parents, empty nesters or children that are grown and do not live at home anymore. 

IEA will arrange for our host families to pick up your son or daughter at the airport when they arrive in USA.

The students will have a separate bedroom with a bed, desk, closet, and bathroom.  Host families provide at least 2 meals per day (breakfast & Dinner).  Students can get to school by walking, bus, public transport, or being driven by the host parent. 

IEA will closely monitor our host families so students adapt to American life and encourage students to join activities at school and host family.
