After several Covid-imposed delays, we are eager to finally launch our first language and cultural exchange with our sister school in Argentina, and we are looking for a few additional host families!

The students and their chaperones are arriving on Saturday, November 5, and will be with us until November 19.  Host family responsibilities include integrating the student in your family life, so that they get a glimpse of daily American life as they practice their English language skills.

Students will travel to school in the morning with your child, and after a day or two of shadowing, will spend school days with their chaperones on a variety of excursions around the Boston area.  On the weekends, you will incorporate them into your usual routines, and have them participate in whatever activities or chores your family typically engages in together.

While this is obviously an excellent opportunity for a family with a child studying Spanish, this is not a requirement!  All that we ask is that you be eager to share your daily lives and rhythms with a teen who is eager to learn about our life in the Boston area.

Please contact Cynthia Manthei (mantheic@newton.k12.ma.us) as soon as possible if you are interested or have any questions.
