Thank you to all of our fabulous families who have opened their hearts and homes to one (or two!) of our visiting international exchange students this coming school year. That was the sentiment echoed throughout today’s orientation session for host families, organized by Gemma Utting, Riverstone’s International Student Coordinator. With additional support and advice from Rachel Pusch, Admissions Director, Jane Kaserman, ELL Coordinator, and Ben Brock, Outdoor Director, our host families talked about connecting with their students before he/she arrives, language barriers, transportation, chores (!), birthdays, and everything in between.

At this time, we have all of our visiting students matched up with wonderful families but will have additional opportunities in January 2011. Email Gemma Utting at [email protected] if you are interested in hosting at a future time.
