Introduce Your Students
The best tool we have found to start the year off right within your community by allowing your community to get to know the students coming to your schools in your communities.

IMPORTANT: The most critical step is the matching of the host family and the foreign exchange student, interest and life style.

Therefore, SEA asks each interested family to complete a preliminary host family application, under NO COMMITMENT, in order for the Representative to proceed with a group of students for a perspective host family to review based on your family’s interests and lifestyle.

In this process, with the guidance of your experienced Local Representative, you will select your new son/daughter. Only then does the placement process begin.

Please CLICK HERE to complete the CONFIDENTIAL Preliminary Host Family application.
