From Newburyport Public Schools: Help Host an International Student

Every year, as part of the Newburyport Public Schools' efforts to encourage intercultural learning, they invite international students to join them at Newburyport High School and host students from all over the globe. This year, we have students from a variety of countries including Italy, Germany, Brazil, Chile and Spain. See this link with a description of each student that still needs a host family.

The host families of Newburyport are an important part of this program.  Families who open their homes and hearts to these students make this intercultural learning experience possible. Past families have told us how much they have gotten out of the experience. Connections are made that last well beyond the duration of the visit.

We have wonderful families who have hosted in the past returning and we are looking for a few new families as well. In their effort to attract great families, Newburyport Public Schools is are working with a company called Educatius International.  

If you would like to learn more about being a host parent, you can contact Jodi Del Razo from Educatius International jodi.delrazo@educatius.org or 617-543-8626. Host families are paid a monthly stipend for hosting and students have their own medical insurance and spending money. 

Please consider hosting an international student!  You'll be supporting this great program and past host families will tell you what a wonderful experience hosting an international student can be for everybody involved.
