We are actively looking for welcoming and supportive host families to open their hearts and homes to students attending Lancaster Catholic High School beginning in fall of 2018. Students are applying now and waiting to be matched with their new families.
These young people from China are seeking an American academic and cultural experience. They have all completed an international preparatory program, with a proven track record for excelling academically. Our students have been thoroughly screened to ensure they will be a good fit for placement at Lancaster Catholic High School and are eager to learn and experience American culture.
What is required to host an international student? Host families provide:
- A comfortable and cultural-enriching environment
- Transportation to and from school (students may ride the school bus)
- Three nutritious meals each day
- A separate bedroom (bathrooms may be shared)
- Warm, supportive parental supervision of this young adult
In exchange for opening up your home, you'll enjoy an amazing cultural experience and bond with a student who becomes part of your family. You and your Chinese student will also receive ongoing academic and social support from the staff at New Oasis International Education. Lastly, you will receive a generous, monthly, financial stipend to offset the cost of hosting.
