Meet Julia from Germany!  She will be joining us for one semester. One of the first things that Julia mentions about herself is how much she loves the English language.  She says that she thinks the English language is beautiful, she loves the sound of it, she loves studying it and she surrounds herself with English language music and English language TV series.  Julia also states that she enjoys political science and history classes at school.  She plays the guitar and loves listening to music. She also draws. She enjoys getting out and walking with friends as well. She enjoys trying new things and recently started a new hobby- nail art!   She has a younger brother with whom she is very close, even if they sometimes fight over Roblox. She does not have a pet, but she had always wanted one.  Open your heart and your home to this enthusiastic and fun-loving student!

Camille is a kind, thoughtful student from France who naturally fits into family life. She enjoys helping in the kitchen, joining everyday routines, and being part of the small moments that make a home feel connected. She’s great with younger kids, happy to walk the dog, and eager to pitch in wherever she’s needed. She values conversation, gratitude, and shared traditions, and she’s excited to learn from her host family while also bringing her own culture and perspective. She doesn’t want to be a guest—she wants to belong, contribute, and grow alongside the people who welcome her. Her warmth, curiosity, and steady presence make her the kind of student who quietly strengthens a household in meaningful ways. A student like her won’t be available for long—don’t miss the chance to welcome her.

Angelina is a warm, enthusiastic girl from the Southwest of France who would be a wonderful addition to any host family. She’s positive, open‑minded, and genuinely loves connecting with people. As an only child, she’s both independent and very appreciative of family life. She’s respectful, responsible, and adapts easily to new routines. She loves animals, enjoys an active lifestyle, and is excited to share French cooking—tarts, gratin dauphinois, Basque talo, and more. Her experience in Model United Nations shows her curiosity about the world and her maturity. She dreams of becoming a lawyer and sees this exchange year as an essential step toward her future. Angelina can’t wait to experience American school life, join activities (cheerleading is her dream), and celebrate traditions like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Hosting her means welcoming a joyful, motivated young woman who will truly become part of your family.

Emanuel (15) is a thoughtful and responsible student from Spain who brings calm curiosity and genuine warmth to every home he enters. He loves sharing stories at the table, helping with pets, and pitching in with daily routines. With a passion for nature, reading, sports, and music, he’s the kind of student who blends in easily while adding something meaningful—whether it’s a helping hand, a good conversation, or a new perspective. He writes, "I hope that, if we meet, we can create good memories together and that I can become not only a guest, but a real part of your family." Don’t miss the chance to welcome him into yours.

Family and close friendships are very important to him, and he comes from a supportive home where trust and open communication matter. He enjoys mountain activities such as skiing, hiking, climbing, and exploring nature, and he finds peace and freedom in the outdoors. One of his favorite travel memories is from Istanbul, where a simple day of exploring left a lasting impression on him.

Meet Maïwenn from France with Italian roots who comes from a close, lively family. Growing up in a rural area, she has learned the value of connection, adaptability, and shared moments—whether cooking together, celebrating holidays, or simply spending time with loved ones. At home, she’s especially devoted to her cat, Raven, who she lovingly cares for and considers a true member of the family. Maïwenn is excited to experience everyday American life: attending school, joining in family routines, celebrating holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving, and discovering what makes life in the U.S. unique. She hopes to become fluent in English, build meaningful friendships, and form a strong bond with her host family.
